"A little help please"

Personally my favourite search engine by far is Google.co.uk. I don't use Google.com because I normally want to be able to stipulate UK only.

I would like to know which search engines you use ofr searching in the UK. If you list more than one could you give some idea of the percentage of use, e.g.

Google.co.uk 80%
Excite.com 20%

This will be useful to me in the work I am doing at the moment.

Thanks.

I usually se Yahoo, but seeing as it is powered by Google now, I guess thats where my vote goes!!

Just like FOG of old here tonight.

Watch out for Spider II though. Now calling himself Techno.

Maybe he's changed?

To be honest, I only use three:
Askjeeves 70%
Hotbot 15%
Lycos 15%

But I shall now try out some of the search engines mentioned here.

More obscure material like....



The price of Kangaroo skins shipped from Australia to Cairo in a floating cardboard box with a 'context sensitive' bomb in them?

Or things like...

Discolights?


Actually, it doens't matter.

Game - ^_^

Altavista 50%
Yahoo 30%
Others 20%

Yahoo for very general info

Altavista however is what I used most, Itll find anything even your friends websites...anything obscure and not commercailised.

I use Yahoo the most, but it's recently started using the Google engine itself anyway, I believe.

I also use altavista for the more obscure material (15%)

I use google most of the time, but I like to use askjeeves as well.

Anyway, G'night everyone!

I always find that Gozilla has too many broken links, they don't get checked...their engine's been in beta for ages, and there's still no way of filtering or ordering results. Morpheus tends to be much better overall for media.
