I loved Altavista until it began displaying those annoying popups.
Now I use Google and will be until it starts displaying those annoying popups.

I couldn't see Google ever using popups. They've been smart enough to outsource search technology as a means of income, so hopefully they'll stay relatively ad-free.
Perhaps the other sites could take a lesson from Google. Their small text ads are the only ads that I've ever clicked on anything and bought something from outside of Crucial ads  .

I never really thought about it Xayd, but goggle’s text adds are the only ones that I have ever clicked on and purchased something as well.

Google here too
 I never have and probably never will understand how they think if they annoy you enough with pop ups you'll buy something. Don |

I guess I'm the oddball... I just use IE's address bar and normally find what I want.

I use Google first but if it doesn't find what I want, I try Mamma or even Webcrawler. Whatever one I happen to click on in the Favorites menu.

Google.
Interesting point. When Google first went online, they had a different way of finding web sites. It didn't matter if you used META Tags or not. I was very green to the web and one of the first things I wanted to do was build a web site. I did not really understand META Tags and why they were needed. So I didn't bother putting any on. But Google listed my site, not only did they list it, they listed it as number 2 and it stayed at number 2 until NBCi shut down the free web sites a year or so ago. The name of the site was, Eaglefeather. Try a search for Eaglefeather and see just how many sites there are with that name. I was quite proud of that number 2 spot. Not one of the other search engines listed it. So Google has been my search engine ever since.

Does that mean, Eaglefeather, that you don't have the site up anymore??

I have IE6 and have alot of choices if you have the search icon on your toolbar hit that and you should see where it says customize, then a new window opens with the options.

I found it under the Autosearch settings. This is weird, though: The other day my sister got gasoline spilled on her. I did a search, "remove gas smell," using the default MSN engine, and got a couple thousand sites on the topic.... I just tried that same search in Google, and got only 3 porn sites !???!??
