Everyday no doubt each and every one of us would probably use one of the many search engines available to us.
I'm interested as to which one you use and why?
Is it Google, Yahoo, MSN or another and do you have it set as your home page?
Regards

I've used Google for all the years I've been online... even when Altavista was all the rage (biggest online) I preferred Google as they gave better results even back then!... and still do.
Cheers, Chris. |

| I have to say Google wins. I love google tools, personal homepage design, and email. It is an all in one package for me and there isn't another search engine that I will have as my homepage! |

| I use Google. I feel I get the best results from Google. I did used to use Yahoo but then compared it with Google and made the switch. |

I use Google as well...
So if the biggest percentage of the population (An assumption) use Google then what is it that keeps the other Search Engines active?

I'm with Google as well but from time to time I switch to Yahoo or MSN.
It is interesting to note the differences in search results when comparing, I suppose it comes down to whether you are searching for something or whether you want someone to find you.
If you are looking for search engine traffic then in my opinion you are best to work on getting a high ranking with Google as they seem to deliver the best.
Just my two cents.

| I use google most of the time and Msn and Yahoo some other times but that depends on what I'm looking for. If I can't find exactly what I'm looking for I use Chacha. However, once I find the info I need I save the page where I found it so I don't have to search it again. |

| I pretty much only use Google. In the early days on the internet I used Yahoo, but it is too busy for me. I like simplicity so Google wins! |

I use nothing but Google!
It is a very easy to use search engine and I have accounts with almost every service they offer. |

| I have been on the internet or for years and have used nothing but Yahoo. Google was not around when I started using the internet. The only thing I knew about was yahoo and have been a faithful user since. All my email accounts and web hosting is done through them. Once you start it is hard to change I guess. |
