I personally prefer to use Google most of the time and occasionally I do use Yahoo and MSN. No dislikes... as I have hardly used any search engine apart from these three.

The only search engine I use now is Google. I really have tried them all and it seems to consistantly come up with the best results. It's a pain getting them to list your own site though!

I get the results I want with Google for one of my websites, but two new ones (about a month old) do not show up at all on the search engine yet.

I like google - not just because I think it produces the best results, but also because it's also clean and tidy and is easy to read.

Of cource google, I dislike MSN, just go and view their search engine type querry " search engine" and look the result there are search.com, ask.com, submitexpress but you will not find google/yahoo there on first page, alternatively google shows result for that keyword as altavista/msn search/google.uk, google.com/yahoo.com on their first page in proper sequence.

I use yahoo.

I like a bit of info on the front page (news, sport etc) and I prefer the search results. Google is a bit too minimalist for me.

It does take some time for new sites to show up in Google. Give it some time and concentrate on updating your site with fresh content and getting links from already indexed sites.

Google for sure. It's the best search engine and the results are also very nice.

Default Hands down this is the best search engine.

I used to use Google constantly, but I've converted to a new search engine. It started out a little shaky, but it has improved quickly, and I'm convinced it will surpass Google one day. Lately, the results I get at ChaCha are far more relevant than elsewhere.

You can read more about it here. try.chacha.com/?rid=11990
