If they keep forcing Bing down our throats... its going to have to be B..in.. oh no wait, that's a pile of Bing.. Go - oooooogle all the way!
I doubt google is "the best". Is the most popular no doubt, but not the best, that's sure. Google allows spammers in search results, I know sites scoring first page on thousand keywords by creating fake pages about nothing (exemple spamsite.com/search/result/keyword1 - when you land on the page "Sorry no results for <strong>keyword1</strong> the rest of page it;s full of ads, usualy google adsense) So in my opinion google is not that relevant it use to be, unless it's going to change its policy about spam sites, other search engines will have a chance on supremacy.
is there any need of discussing this topic and extending this further. If we are here to know about what are the other search engines (local or global) then it's ok. but we are here to discuss about the best search engine then STOP ! it's only GOOGLE
Google obviously! Widely used and most reputed. Your pagerank, SEO operations mostly depend on this god of Searches!
same threads keep on popping up asking for the most obvious answers. it's either google, bing, or yahoo.
