What are the best search engines ?

[Rose]

Dogpile, AOL, Ask.com, Askjeeves.

They are the main ones I can think of that are not in the list you mentioned. I wish you good luck with your website/Forum!

Main ones, are Google MSN/Live/Bing (wow so many failing /) and Yahoo! Cuil is becoming big aswell. Ask is sorta big...

I use google mostly but sometimes google can be a bit hap-hazard. Like I search for something and 50 - 75% of the stuff is not even close to what I am looking for. Lately I have been trying Bing out and its pretty cool its kind of like google but more modern with all the images and stuff.

Google, Yahoo isn't what it used to be anymore and Bing is just New name for MSN search which is now for years with us. Other search engines died or are pretty much dead because of the Google. Reminds me of the period when Netscape browser dies because of the release of Internet Explorer 6. But those people recreated the browser we know and love and that's Mozilla Firefox . More people who use one search engine means more money for that search engine.

Outside are a lot of search engines but Google give you the 90% of the visitors so, if you are not in Google you are not on the Internet , the second place is for Yahoo Web Pages and the third is for bring. Later comes all the others.

I never heard of search.com till now. Try Cuil also.

[Mr. Lu]

I only use Google. That's basically the only search engine I use. (Well, mainly because I have a google toolbar lmao) It has reliable results.

And how many are big and used? How many do you use?

[Zeusoft]

To be honest those listed here, at least half are dead, and other half people didn't heard about or they don't know about them. So no google killer anytime soon
