Is it my imagination or is google.com the worlds best search engine? It's always been my favorite and now it seems as if everyone is using it.
Must confess that it is ! - i recently completed a thesis on business mangement and tried deperately to find information - all search engines proved close to useless but Google surpassed my expectaions - THUMBS UP TO GOOGLE!!
Regarding search engines: Google.com is probably the best I have found for finding exactly what I need, however, I use another very powerful tool called Copernic. Copernic searches about 20 engines at a time, and then sorts your hits based on relevancy. Check it out at Copernic.com
It doesn't seem to matter what other search engine I use. I always wind up going to Google to get the information I need!
I use to use MetaCrawler for my searches till just a couple of months ago. I could find every thing I needed, but now with Google I find things much faster without the need to follow links as much.
Google is great; I've also tried Ixquick and found that occasionally it turns up a few hits that Google doesn't.
