I agree Google is the fastest search engine, but MSN search is the most clena and appropiate for family use, because MSN has no or limited pornography available in their search and Google does not.\n\nBut in quick terms, I will go for Google, but in quality terms I will go with MSN

Google because I think it works the best!

Pretty much everything!  Yahoo! is awesome!  There is news, music, movies, it even has its own search engine.  Go to their home page (www.yahoo.com) and you'll see what I mean.

I agree with the previous comment, however, why use an uncommon search engine when there are so many good popular ones out there. Google.com, yahoo.com, altavista.com, and ask.com are the best search engines out there, there is no reason to use any sites but these.

Google isn't as picky. I get many many many more results using google.

Yahoo by far. Have you checked their front page? Autos, finance, geocities, maps, movies, launch, shopping, sports, groups, ANSWERS. Oh yeah, the second most powerful search engine online? Yeah. I would say Yahoo.

When doing a general websearch, I typically use Google because I find the layout easier to read.\n\nI am both a Yahoo! and Google member, so I could be biased both ways. As just someone surfing the web, I've found that Yahoo! offers more entertaining and more services in general. I'm a Google member mostly for the webmaster services (e.g. Google SiteMaps).\n\nEach search engine has its benefits, but a lot of the time I go to Google because my personalized search page will display new email and my RSS feeds as well. I don't need this for Yahoo! since I'm back here regularly for many other things.

Google, because its simple and easiest to use.  Adverts are small and don't get in the way of content.

It has to be in the quality of the results that are coming up in the page. Both Google and Yahoo are very similar now in terms of their results so I tend to use both. Yahoo has some great features on their next.yahoo.com page so I think if some of these were widly available I would be more inclined to stick with them. \n\nI really liked that slider bar that allows you to move from Shopping results to Research results!\nMindest they have called it:\nhttp://mindset.research.yahoo.com/

I personally use metacrawler, as I get everything from many searches.\n\nHowever, if you are just looking for random stuff, you can use stumbleupon.com - it has plugins for IE and Firefox.

To determine the best your need to set some criteria.\n\nIn my opinion, any major search engines qualifies a one of the best websites. \n\nI like google but I thinks that more to do with the type of stuff I tend to search for and the keywords I use. \n\nfor example, I founded the following \n\nsearch: best websites

Agree, I like Yahoo the best. You not only get search results, but weather, sports scores, news, tv listings, movie reviews, maps, anything and everything you could ever want. And no, I don't work for them!

My answer is google for the following reasons:\n\nPros of Google:\n\nAs a seach engine, google has the best relevance and presents the results in a way that I find easy to decide what pages are best for me. Its the best in terms of researching information.\n\nFor makin money, a #1 on google is worth many times more than a #1 on yahoo. Yahoo! blocks the top of the SERPs with sponsored ads.\n\nGoogle also has a neat interface. Yahoo is not bad too, but its interface is not that neat. The reason for that being it to be a portal. I think a nice interface is very important since people will come back more often if so.\n\nThe relevance of search results make its 'Feeling Lucky' feature pretty useful. Firefox address bar by defaults goes to 1 site listed on your search results.\n\nGoogle has tried to stay away from Spam/ misleading sites better than other search engines.\n\nCons of Google:\n\nHowever, few problems with google, its web crawler dosen't capture hyperlinks from PDF files stored on net, a feature which Yahoo provides.\n\nAlso, Google at present does not provide an index for video aggregation through the web crawler, a feature which Altavista provided since 1999. The problems include accuracy of the media file. That is the reason for providing Google Videos where users have to submit videos.\n\nDue to a larger share of 'searching' community, Google has been targeted by bloggers by planting Google Bombs. Because most bloggers mention the word failure with President Bush's name, the #1 site on searching Failure is the website of President Bush.\n\nYahoo is doing pretty good research in Search Technologies, for example Grokker. http://www.grokker.com/grokker.html?query=Anirudh%20Koul&Yahoo=true&Daypop=true&numResults=250
