Whats your Favorite Search?

[amdalex]

I just want to know what your favorite search engine is and why. Also maybe some of the good and bad. My favorite is Dogpile because it uses (what I think) all the good engines in one. How about you?

I went from HotBot to MSN to Google and Google is my main choice. I've heard good reports on Dogpile but haven't tried it yet. It's very rare I don't find what I need when I Google.

I didn't know there was any one besides Google.

Dogpile for me too... Though lately, I've been using some of Google's special features, like product search, maps, etc.

What I like about Dogpile is that it searches EVERYONE. It will also find words inside a file, even if not obvious from a title, etc.

What I like about Dogpile is that it seems to get to the heart of the matter in short order.

Each different search engine has sort of a different emphasis, including Google. Dogpile is a meta-crawler-type engine that just searches everything. If someone has written it and stored it, it will eventually find it.

Also note that the hits that pop up on the screen are just the tip of the ice berg. You can expand each search engine or opt for others if you like.

It also gives you the option of searching for difficult topics with an adult filter, which weeds out a lot of those pop-up/virus/trojan/etc., sort of sites from the search.

I used Yahoo! first. Then moved onto Ask Jeeves (collective engine). Then moved to AltaVista before landing on Google.

Used Google since 2001 and only got more involved in it.

Interesting. I just used dogpile for the first time ever, and it brought back a real pile of crap. I typed in ghg, short for Green House Gas, and airplane. I am doing research on which mode of transportation is the most polluting, and dogpile returned not ghg, but hgh.

Seems like quite a misleading result, but I will use it for a few more searches before discarding it.

It brought up a number of valid hits... Yes, you do get other stuff. That is becasue of the type of search engine it is - like I said, it searches for key words EVERYWHERE. It will return some stuff that isn't what you were looking for -- and more often exactly what you were looking for, even if it is only found on some esoteric non-funded site.
