Does anyone actually use anything other than Google, Yahoo and MSN?

    I've never actually used anything but Google. I guess a few people use Ask.com though, since it used to be one of the biggest search engines, but now it seems to have died out a little.

    well we do use AOL some time. Although AOL fetches some of it's search feeds from google but still is good and has higher traffic. i feel AOL is also there amoung the best once.

    Doesn't AOL get all its results from Google? Which is why it wasn't allowed in some "most used search engine" polls because its not really a search engine?

    Nah nah, AOL uses majority of its feeds from Google, but does deliver some different/randomized results from it. It seems like they can narrow the results from Google down to more relavent ones. ;)

    To be honest i use Google then yahoo and if unsatisfied with results then MSN .. nothing else i try to check
    i think google n yahoo gives the best results ( Yahoo more relavant but google's faster n bit of clean design , the sponsered listing are very relavant thats why i use google)

    I dont, not for my own searching.
    I use MSN and Yahoo obviously for SEO purposes but thats it.. however I think alot of MSN Messenger users do use msn search.

    I only use google, not yahoo or msn.. If I'm at a site with there own search engine I may use it but now with search engines in the tool bar, I can just use them.
