yahoo is thinking of getting rid of google. yahoo and msn are trying to develop new search that will beat google. they are both spending mad money in order to make a better search enginee. but google rules. its simple, quick, and does those great special searches. i still love the einstien birthday.
thats what i just read about yahoo and msn.

Anyone try http://www.alltheweb.com ?
I used to use dogpile, which is a search engine front end to multiple searches. Just checked and now they include google in the search, but, it's also got some advertising as well... not as nice.
When I found google to be as good as / better than the combined serach engines of dogpile I made the switch.
It is pretty impressive and I'm skeptical anyone else can do better. About the only way I see a change is if Google has $$$ problems and needs to change their service (likely for the worse).

I use Google, because with the *right* search, you really can find anything that you're looking for.
My google skills are unprecedented really. Seriously, bow down to me....the Google Master.

Gads... I remember when Webcrawler was the shizt. Then it was Altavista. Now it's Google.

I like google because it's on my Opera toolbar.
And, it reaches almost everything.

I switched years ago when searching Altavista for +RJ45 +T-base +100Mbit +cables -xxx -porn -thread -buy -order turned up with nothing but porn sites on the first 4 or 5 pages.
(Edit: The first 3 or 4 pages of links on Google only contained relevant information)

If I'm looking for an answer, google almost always has it on the first 5 pages. The image search is a neverending supply of car wallpapers for my machine at work 🙂. Froogle is pretty good too (needs a sort by price option). The google toolbar is the greatest thing EVER.
I used to be a yahoo user (I'd used it since it was a page on stanfords student web hosting) but all the popups for x10 annoyed me. I still use their yellow pages, but even their paid links are getting annoying. At least with google they're easy to ignore.
My only complaint is those websites that put popular keywords on a page then link to their own pages, creating a nest of useless information or links to referal sites. Any time I search for something ecommerce related (coupon code searches are usually where I see this) I get these pages making google pretty much useless. I was searching for a dash install kit for my chevy blazer the other day and had to wade through tons of useless pages before I found a site that had what I wanted.
Google can't really do anything about them given the nature of the listing order. This kind of thing could kill google if the idiots got organized enough, but I don't see that happening outside of ecommerce info.
