Alternate Search Engine you use

[jaco_don]

Google is the best search engine but sometimes .. other search engines provide much better search result than google

What other search engine do you use?

:biggthump Altavista.com is sometime better than google

As a search engine and result engine I sometimes use Yahoo!

I quite like Microsoft's Live Search, but sometimes it just doesn't seem to offer results that are quite what I'm after. It's best to not just rely on one product though.

I use Google the most because it's search functionality is the best really, it usually finds the best results. Failing that, I use Yahoo! and Altavista. I tried Live Search but I could never work with it, never seemed to find the results I was after.

The latest challenger to Google! The way they offer search results are really interesting

www.cuil.com don't seem to be very god in my opinion because they have spent a lot of time indexing my site and they only have one link listed (to my home page) and I thought they were know for indexing more pages than Google.

Actually, Google won't reveal how many pages it has indexed, so the people at Cuil are basing their claim if 3 times as many pages index as Google on past information combined with what growth they think there was. They could be wrong.

And, like Daniel said, Cuil seems to care less about doing a thorough index and more about indexing tons of pages, resulting in quantity over quality.

Depends, really. When Google goes down (which is very unhead of since they're never down. East coast servers go down which I'm routed though, I go right to the west coast and bite 40ms worth of latency), I use Live search.

I use Google, sometimes Yahoo, but not often.

Live Search, Google, and Yahoo! it just depends on what I'm looking for. I usually use Live first because it comes up when I pull up the browser. I sometimes use Google for conversions among various systems of measure.
