Which search engine do you use?

I'm sick of the one I use, so I'd like to know what you all use.

I interned at a law firm one summer and when we did searches for locations, names, etc, etc that lexis, findlaw, etc, etc couldn't find, we would often go the google route and it would pay off. Not in the same way that lexis nexis intended to, but, for example, if the person so much as posted their resume online google'd fid it. There's a reason it's become a verb and not just a search engine.

I agree, I always seem to have great results from Altavista. I don't know, a lot of people say there are better engines out there, but I've been using this one for well over 5 years, and still do.

google...it is the most technologically advanced one. one could say it revolutionized the web search engine...

it constructs a huge (2.something billion node) directed graph, then runs some crazy parallel graph algorithms on it that takes 11 days! we talked about it on tuesday in my parallel computing class. its actually quite amazing...

If google fails and you have time for a longer search, use web ferret.

yahoo to buy stuff - cuz it is real businesses - google - to find answers for school - cuz you can type out a question and it has usually been typed into a web page and answered else where in the past.

I have online classes - with "take home" test - I type alot of the hard questions in and I would say 3 of 10 come back 100% word for word with the answer 3-4 come back an help you out - maybe have a tip or is another question with the variables changed so you get the idea of how to set it up, and the other 3-4 well - they just lead me to porn sites - helping to currpt the minds of those suppose to be getting edumacated!
