I use Dogpile- it searches ALL the search engines. If Dogpile can't find it, it ain't out there!

I use google. I used to be a yahoo freak, but saw somebody using google once and I fell in love. I am gonna try that dogpile one though, just the name sounds cool. Another thing is yahoo used to be all free, now they charge for a lot of their services, that turns me off to...Jay

I like google simply because it's a simple, uncluttered page. Even their advertisements on the results page are unobtrusive. It does a pretty good job of filtering results too.

I also use the google tool bar. Very convienient!
