    Yahoo, and AltaVista.

    I still use many different engines today, as no single engine always works for what you are looking for. Some are better for for products, some for services and others for educational research.

    Before the launch of Google I was using Altavista.
    Now for everyday searches I use Google (Toolbar), and when looking for keywords, backlinks, #pages, ... sometimes I use Yahoo

    The actual search page isn't cluttered too much. I use Google mostly now but sometimes use Yahoo.

    My heart started with Altavista, but after they died (before Yahoo bought them), i've been using nothing but Google - they have it right.

    I wasn't using any search engine. First one I knew about was google, and that was about 5 - 6 years ago.

    altavista, excite, yahoo, and hotbot. Cant remember which was my favorite then?

    Now its all Google. Only use yahoo or msn to check rankings and backlinks (no longer using msn to check backlinks)
