What Search Engine Do You Favor?

[suse_amd64x2]

I use Scroogle SSL mostly. Though there are times I fall back to Google Linux or Google Image. But over all for general searching I use Scroogle SSL.

I use Google. I'm not scared enough to use Scroogle, however that can change. I've tried Bing & as usual Hype doesn't meet Reality.
In Bing the order is slightly different, but is essentially the same as Google.

Who said I was scared, I am not scared and paranoid. Wait... someone said I was paranoid? Who's talking about me? That scares me....

I agree with you about Bing. I watched a little on Hulu. They went all out to show how great it was. But honestly I don't see a real difference on the surface. And since it is from Microsoft I automatically feel cautious. (I am not an MS hater, I just don't trust them.)

I started using Scroogle just because. I support Google and hope they do well but at the same time I do not hide the fact that I feel privacy is a right we all share and it should be respected, with in reason of course. Nothing is 100% private or secure online.

What do you mean by that? Lose a search engine? I asked where AltaVista is in the poll as it's missing. AltaVista was in the good old days of the infant Internet *the* most popular and used engine in the world. Until management screwed up and it lost ground to Google and Yahoo. I still use it pretty frequently due to nostalgia and I always liked it from the beginning

I was joking As in you where looking for something you misplaced by asking where is Altavista.

Honestly until you mentioned it I didn't even know they where still around. Doesn't seem like that long ago when they where the popular choice. I wonder if Google will ever stop being popular. I am guessing something better will come along one of these days, unless Google does it first.

Edit: That is why I put in other as a choice. I know there are other search engines out there that people prefer over the main ones. I use Yahoo mail and My Yahoo as my home page but I didn't even put there search engine down.

You should have put on the poll

- google
- lycos (owned by ask.com)
- altavista
- bing/msn search
- yahoo search
- ask.com

as these are probably the most used ones. Then put 'others' for those who use unknown or much less popular engines

Good point. I will make another one after this one runs it course. I am curious to see if Google will stay in the lead or if Bing will win. The race is on, (though I am pretty sure I know what one will win out of the two.)
