I'm choosing the Yahoo search engine but truthfully the results are pretty much the same.

I'm at bing 4 out of 4.. pretty impressive but it seems like bing gives less forum results which, a lot of the time, is what I'm looking for (as a lot of obscure questions are only answered on forums).

at work, it is nice to have experts-exchange.com pop up with answer to my software engineering needs.

I agree.

I find a lot more information from forums than just generic sites when I'm looking to troubleshoot something or find product reviews/recommendations, which is what like 99% of my searches are about.

So I double checked the results and they omit some google searches.

3 out of four were Yahoo for me. The other was Bing.

Pretty surprising considering I pretty much only use Google.

 

[MadAmos]

four for four Yahoo for me my second was always Bing so much for Google

Bing for me

 

[Unheard]

4 out of 4 Google

Wow...1 Yahoo, 1 Google, 2 Bing. (4 tries, obviously).

Yahoo 4 for 4 :Q

They all gave me mostly the same results, just in a different order. Even if one of the other sites gave me better results, I would still stick to Google.

You can easily tell the diffrences in most searches. Bing will give MSN type results, and Google will give, you tube results so you can tell.

Wow... I'm pretty much evenly split between Bing, Google, and Yahoo.

Bing seems to be finding some of the more obscure things that I threw at it like model numbers of old computer equipment, which I thought was Google's forte. Odd.

Bing and Google seemed to give me the same results. With the searches I did, yahoo stood out like a sore thumb. No way google would come up with geocities as its first result.

Not that I noticed.
