used copernic for a long time. Haven't loaded it back up in a while now though, Google does the job just fine.

I get a kick out of folks @ work, sometimes Google doesn't work & they're lost...

I just surf to one of 1/2 dozen search engines & find what they're looking for. It's like Google is the ONLY search engine:D

Before Google, I used: Yahoo, Webcrawler, Altavista, Lycos, Hotbot

Google just makes it a whole lot easier now... Alltheweb should get an honorable mention too.

The only standout part of google is the groups search, and they bought that from dejanews

Altavista was actually pretty good way back then, before all the stupid commercial hit keywords. Also, infoseek was a great search engine, now it's total useless crap, what were they thinking?
