Question What search engine do you use?

I was reading about how people found out about FTE and saw a lot of people responded with googling so I am just curious about what search engine you use. I myself prefer google because it seems to return the best results.

I chose the last box because I use Dogpile for just about every search I do. It searches multiple search engines and gives me tons of results. Once in a while I'll use Icerocket because I like their thumbnails.

Google. It's clean. No fluff. Just gimme what I'm looking for. On a related note Froogle is good to look for the OEM manufacturer of obscure computer parts.

When searching for something on the 'Net, I start out with Google as my primary SE. Then if that fails, I go to Dogpile. If I still haven't found it, I will use a number of other search engines.
Do a search for search engines and you will see there are hundreds of them!
