by FrankQC - 5/14/09 11:58 AMIn your browser, the search engine at the end of the URL, what do you use and why?
Google
Yahoo!
Wikipedia
eBay
Package Search (for linux)
Other? If so, what?
Google Google Google

Why? couple reasons. They find stuff, especially tiny phrases that I remember from something I read two days ago... really well and really fast.
Secondly, I like that they are A SEARCH ENGINE first and foremost. I use the Google taskbar mostly, but if I do go to their homepage, what does it expect me to do... SEARCH. Yahoo wants to tell me 10 signs my guy is cheating and 5 foods I should eat and ... you get the idea.
Haha yeah I get what you mean.
by FrankQC - 5/15/09 8:58 AM In reply to: Google Google Google by BookMama2Yahoo has lots of things in it whereas Google is just clean and simple. You can make it complicated using iGoogle SHOULD you want it. Or else you can just stay with the classic Google layout and just use it for accessing your Google account and searching the web.

partly for the same reason as BookMama2, you remember a phrase or just a few words from a song and Google will usually supply the goods
1% wikipedia (taking into account that any info found there is all based on 'freelancers' and not exactly carved in stone)

Both Yahoo and Google
by Dango517 - 5/23/09 2:55 AM In reply to: Which search engine to do use? by FrankQCYahoo for buttons and bookmarks
Google for spell check and relavent searches
I often need two search engines at one time. If I had room I'd run three search engines.
Great PQ--I mean PR
by helsharmar - 5/23/09 7:16 AM In reply to: Both Yahoo and Google by Dango517If you use Google for "relavent" searches, I guess you didn't use it to spell relevant.
a search engine that has both
by cmpbllrck - 5/24/09 1:20 PM In reply to: Both Yahoo and Google by Dango517How about "Twingine" http://twingine.com/ it has results from both Yahoo and Google on same page...
not much to choose from
by richteral - 5/24/09 2:47 AM In reply to: Which search engine to do use? by FrankQCGoogle is the Big Daddy, so choice No. 1; it delivers well.
Yahoo an option if I am signed in; it works fine.
But quite deliberately I prefer to set my homepage at Cuil - it is black and quirky, which makes it easy on the eye and refreshing for the mind. Serendipity rules OK.
I use Clusty
by TomD - 5/26/09 10:10 AM In reply to: Which search engine to do use? by FrankQCClusty clusters the search into groups which narrow down what I may be looking for. If something is not found in Clusty, I'll try a second time in Google. If not in Google, I won't continue looking.

I use Google all the time... It actually gives the closest article related to my search... But to look for more extensive topic, I use Yahoo!
I thought there is only one, GOOGLE. It's easy to use and not cluttered.
I use Google all the time. It offer me most relevant results.
