    but, what I am saying is that altavista's one is better than google. i wasn't comparing it against a human. Google translate gets really simple words wrong.

    Thanks to Yahoo NO.. I remember the day Alltheweb was better than Google before it was acquired by Yahoo.. Yahoo killed them all..

    I used to use altavista all the time, when it was altavista.digital.com

    now that subdomain is gone of course, and altavista went downhill badly in the last 5 years

    If anyone would come close to Google it's MSN with it's new Live search engine.

    I used to be a huge altavista.com-fan.

    I remember when Google came, I thought geez what a boring search engine. Plain white page and nothing else...sheesh how can that ever find anything for me.

    Yes I was a bit wrong ;)

    Answer is definitely NO - Google is by far the best search engine. It provides good and quality listings in the search results

    I don't think that altavista can beat google, like they said it is owned now by yahoo, even yahoo can't beat google.

    No, Altavista doesn't have a chance. I don't think so. Why are you asking?
