Which is your favorite search engine?

NorthernLight.

I use Sherlock (built into my Mac OS) to search Lycos and Excite.

I always use Sherlock.

I like google a lot- jonathan pointed it out to me, and it's done better for me than any other I was using. I also really appreciate that the search screen is really clean and uncluttered.

Dogpile.com

Altavista and Copernic.

EXCITE

google and infoseek.

I use iWon until I hit my daily point limit, and then switch to Yahoo.

mainly altavista with a dash of google and yahoo.

Google, occasionally using Yahoo and HotBot.

Yahoo and Altavista are each good for different purposes.

Yahoo: when I am looking for information on a topic.
Altavista: when I am looking for something I saw once and only remember a snippet of (poetry, song lyrics, articles containing a piece of text)

I use Sherlock to access the others -- usually the one that has most of what I want is AltaVista, followed closely by Excite and then a bunch of others. (This is funny, SueBee, Twister, did you both click Sherlock? My count reads 2 and I suppose it should read at least 3 by now... weird.)

pcpr - I went back and changed my vote to Sherlock. I wasn't so sure that was actually considered a search engine itself. I thought it was just software to access the search engines. But I guess since it's there, that's what I should mark. I sure prefer it over the search engine pages with all the ads and junk.

SueBee: yeah, I prefer to access the others thru Sherlock too, but was quite surprised to find out that in OS 9 it now has banner ads too. Not nearly as obtrusive and annoying as the ones in some engines but it's there. I heard good arguments about the search engine sites not being too happy that Sherlock would strip their ads and they thought about impeding access by Sherlock but I wasn't too happy about it anyway.

I usually use Yahoo, but if their server is down I use Snap.

Which question do you want me to answer? What my favourite is or which I use the most?

What, no Northern Lights on the list?

northernlight.com is pretty good

I like Infoseek ...

pcpr - That's a bummer about the ads, but I guess it's understandable. I used to always get the latest system software as soon as it came out, but I've found that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" has been working just fine for us lately. So it may be awhile before we upgrade to OS 9.

SueBee -- well, if you wait until Summer, you can have MacOS X, which appears to be just great from the demo Jobs gave at the MacWorld Expo 2000 (try http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf00/) -- beware it's a ~2h presentation (you can skip parts, though). In any case we've found the upgrade to OS9 to be worthwhile. And we just can't wait until we have MacOS X.

Astalavista

baby?

pcpr - I haven't had time to try that link yet. I've never heard anyone speak of MacOS X, I've only seen it in writing. Am I correct in assuming it's "ten" rather than "ex"? I'm confused because I thought it came out before there was an OS9. (Not that it would be the first time they've skipped a number.)

www.google.com .. Just for what comes up as the first URL when you type. "More Evil then Satan"

you callin me baby? hehe

SueBee -- I've heard people talk about MacOS X pronouncing it "ex" but Steve Jobs says "ten" during the demonstration, I have no idea who's right or if they just changed their minds about the pronunciation. MacOS X Server came out some time ago but it didn't have some key features (including the Finder with the new Aqua interface and possibly the new graphics engine) and it was intended to be used as a group file server. OS9 came out around October/November '99.

That link I included above talks about way more than the new OS -- in fact he starts the introduction of OS X at around one hour and eleven minutes into the presentation, if you're interested in seeing only the new OS...

Eeah...my brother's homepage?

Twister... mmm, no. The Microsoft Home page.

*giggles*

Dogpile

ShotGun. Oh yes.. I enjoy dogpile too. :)

Profusion

we've switched to go.com (infoseek) because you can search within a search.

I only use Hotbot.
