Searching.........

It's a rare day when I don't use a search engine to find something. We use Google to replace our Phonebook, Atlas, Menu Guide, and Encyclopedia. Most of the time I can find what I am looking for using the correct search terms. Sometimes I use the Advanced Search to limit certain words or to make it only search one specific web site.

I used dogpile a few time about eight years ago and it doesn't seem to have changed to often. It's nice if you have an odd search term and you want to do a compare and contrast between all the different search engines out there, but some information didn't seem useful (like the information coming from yahoo ads search). Mamma.com seemed to improve things slightly with a cleaner look.

When I was starting to form my own brand loyalty to a search engine I never used Yahoo because it was too busy and had blatant advertising. Checking it out today it seems they have cleaned up the appearance of their site.

In the end I suppose Google works for me, so I use it.
