    Almost 20% of my clients aren't OK with with Google results... basically they are non-techie kind of ppl.

    I use Google a lot but to find info about some new (or not so well known) business I use MSN/Yahoo. I think they are more "welcoming" towards new sites.

    For me, I use google and msn. Google first, because I tend to find what I'm looking for, its fast, and simple. MSN because I find it is less discrimitive about its resaults:)

    Google is both a market leader and an innovator. Even if some of what they do sucks, they still do it first, and MSN and yahoo follow

    I have to say the last search I did I was looking for some documentation on cron jobs and ftp_get trying to solve a technical problem.

    I searched google and got crappy results scraped or duplicate sites, traffic traps...MSN had a more diverse selection but nothing I could sink my teeth into...Yahoo! :eek: surprisingly enough had some real information I could read that was authentic and not traffic traps like Google had.

    This has happened to me on a few occasions with Yahoo! :eek: I don't search much and I always default to Google but I just might start defaulting to Yahoo! maybe my search life won't be as frustrating.

    You said it bro :)

    (By the way, I am one of the stupid people. Actually,
    I don't actually love them. But I can't think of using
    any other search engine. Its like I can't do without
    it)
