    I searched for a phrase on google and it showed totally unrelated results. I think because of SEO used by most of the sites the search results are getting more and more irrelevant.

    No, I think they pretty much still are the best. I get far better results with them than with Yahoo or MSN.

    well you can always use "", then it would give some less and more accurate search results.
    Example: "google"

    You can't say that is the best...

    Google is good because they don't have annoying ads and offers the best services. Also, is quite fast. That's why is Good. But Google has some errors too.

    to me google is simply the best, even if yahoo or msn didn't put up any ads, I would still use google because it give me the best results.

    I used to use nothing but Yahoo while everyone else was busy jumping all over the big G bandwagon. Since then I have converted fairly successfully for my general search needs. However if you are looking for anything really specific that requires more than a few keywords google is slacking off a bit.

    I struggle sometimes to get anything relevant, mostly because the sites pulled up are "authority" sites and have more power over some pages on smaller sites.

    Google has put too much emphasis on the strength of a domain over the strength of its content in my opinion.

    Agree. But Google needs to do that, because on the web there are lots of spamming sites, only made for boring reasons, and I think that is a good reason to pull up authority sites. Also, if you want your site to rank high in SERP's, just work harder. ;)

    Lol ! Man, I think you have very low experience in search engines or SEO. So, stop talking about it if you don't know what it is.

    If you search some dumb things on web, what makes you think Google knows it ? This doesn't mean that Google is stupid or a bad search engine...

    google is awesome.

    If they had not invented CHROME, I would be unable to use the Internet because BOTH firefox and Internet Explorer are always crashing. IE crashes on opening --- FF crashes after 5 minutes, then requires that I re-install FF (very annoying).

    CHROME has never crashed.....NOT ONCE! It is the only browser that I can depend on.

    Even though it has no SEO Quake or Alexa Tool Bar--- so my Alexa score has tanked in the last 4 months--- I am very satisfied with Chrome and will never go back to FF or IE.
