Our computer came with installed stuff... it had Yahoo as set up as our homepage. I've gotten pretty used to that setup whenever I look for something, so far so good. Do you think one is better then the other?

Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com) has a great directory, and it uses Google for searches. www.google.com is my favorite search engine. My favorite directory is www.dmoz.org.

If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with Yahoo! since it uses Google.

http://www.Goto.com is interesting because it lets you see how much people are willing to pay for your visit.

My favorite is http://www.dogpile.com

It is the most extensive one I have used.

Hotbot, Google, AllTheWeb, Excite, and Dogpile are my favorite search engines.

I like to use WebFerret from http://www.ferretsoft.com (part of ZDNet, I think) - it searches several engines at once, and it's quick.

I like Alexa too - I can just go to a site that I know covers my topic, and use Alexa to go on from there.

My order of preference is :

Google
Ask Jeeves
Hot Bot

I'm continually amazed at the speed of Google.
