I know Google is the greatest thing since sliced bread but their search engine is beginning to lose me. I find myself getting better results from MSN search. I only accidentally came across this when I had to search a few different things and it popped in my head to try something other then Google.

I suppose it was only a matter time and the huge money microsoft threw at it.

Google, IMO, is getting pretty weak. Although its all I use.

Exactly my mindset, I think I will need to start trying different search engines.

MS search is getting better but it still has some ways to go. They are headed in the right direction though, and will be interesting to see where things are a year from now.

I still like and use google. I can pretty much always find what I'm looking for.

I have found my best search results on alltheweb.com. One of these days I'm going to change my built-in search in Opera to it and be done with google forever.

(1) Google
(2) Dogpile
(3) Altavista *(for obscure stuff)

MSN search is much better then it used to be though.

I've always used Yahoo, even when they got results from Google. MSN is getting decent though.

I always go to MSN first for looking up windows or other microsoft related problems. Google for everything else.

It's good.

Edit: Definitely has limited search capabilities.

Example: (Compare number of results)
