    The last option is tempting, but .......

    It was Yahoo for years, but now it's Google. It's better, IMO.

    Google.

    The interface is just so much cleaner and un-cluttered compared to the rest.

    Google - right from the start - bare naked, compared to its ad laden competitors. Now, when you can pay your way up to the top of the list, I'm not that happy about it, but it's still the most no-nonsense, fastest, most acurate search engine there is.

    I don't notice any difference in any of them to tell you the truth. I get the same results with all of the ones I've tried from the list.

    Google is too full of eBay ads and site that link to eBay ads. I've never understand that.

    Google sucks.

    But I still have to use it because MSN doesn't always do the job.

    For a general search engine, I think mamma is the best. But since I use Netscape 7.2, i can just use the search sidebar to give me multithreaded search using several different metasearch engines.
