    Google is not the top search engine according to Alexa (...lets not start that debate!). Yahoo is ranked #1 in terms of visitors, while Google is #4.

    I'm not so sure it's the top search engine, but it's probably the best known.

    Because its a no nonesense search engine with a plain page. No news flashing infront of you.

    Plus any new install of firefox now has the homepage as a google search thing on mozilla.

    the idea of a "best" anything is just an opinion - google is one of the top but people will argue about being THE top.

    For me, its simple design, and its super fast. It has never failed to come up for me in under 2 seconds, if your logged in, your search results eventually get better and better once google learns what types of sites you visit.

    Google has a brand name. In terms of results, Yahoo! works best for me - but Google's brand keeps people coming back to their service.

    For me personally, it's the simplicity and speed. All I want is search, I don't need a fancy layout, news headlines, and graphics. I also like seeing the art in the Google logo for various occasions, lol. >_>

    For me its accuracy of results, and a sensible, no nonsense approach to searching.

    • Google doesn't bog down people with slow internet connections.
    • It's fast loading.
    • It has high quality results for a search term.
