    Google all the way! Well, thats just my opinion and no one is obligated to think much of it.. ;)

    Think of it like this.. If you work hard enough to get your site at spot #30 in Google, chances are you will end up higher than that if you really work at it. But more importantly, if you work that hard to get to that spot in google, you will most likely end up higher than you would expect in several search engines... so long as you have submitted your site to them. :) Hard work does pay off, just remember it will take a bit of time (possibly months) with Search Engines..

    Good luck!

    In my opinion very few surfers use anything but Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

    Yeah, I agree. I've never even used looksmart, but I've used google many times. What good does it do to be #1 in looksmart if so much fewer people use it? But you can be #30 in google and still get just as much traffic because so many more people use it.

    Yeah, the only time i ever use a search engine other than Google is when I am checking how i rank with my own sites.. or when i really can't find what im looking for on Google and thats rare. I am likely to search through hundreds and hundreds of google results before even trying MSN, Yahoo, Altavista, etc.

    My statistics show all my traffic comes from the big three. It is not worth the time it takes to court the others. More than 50% of my traffic comes from Google with Yahoo and MSN making up the remaining traffic.

    What I'm asking isn't about where it comes from...
    I'm asking....how relevant the result are....
    I think some other search engine gave me better relevant result than google....
    Especially on School things.....
    Every business are fucusing on the google...and that's why I couldn't get the right result for School project things....

    Well, you asked which was best, and hence every business focuses on Google because thats where everyone searches the most. ;)

    Yes, and That is why I get so many spammy business site...
    But, in the other hand... For students who are looking for INFORMATION not PRODUCT... I think other search engine performs better,,,I know that business owers don't have to focus on other search engine such as looksmart, Askjeeves....
