Search Engines!

[Tsutarja]

Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Dogpile, you name it! There are several search engines available on the internet for you to use that assist in bringing results to you based on a query. Whether it'd be for a certain topic of discussion, or maybe you're looking for assistance in something you might not have basic knowledge of.

Which search engine(s) do you guys use? What are some features of said search engine(s) you easily take advantage of? If you could switch to another search engine, what would you try?

 

[killer-curry]

google, the easiest way to use.

I too pretty much used Google as it's what I'm used to for a long while now and I probably won't switch anything soon. When I first used the internet, though, I used Ask Jeeves. Don't know if anyone remembers it, but basically you type what you want to search answers for, and the results can be hilarious sometimes.

I used Google most of the time because it's one of the best search engine available. At times, I would rely to DuckDuckGo as well, for privacy and stuff.

 

[Astinus]

I use Google, since I have Chrome and Google gives the best results.

Periodically, I use Bing for some searches. I'm a member for their rewards program, and when I remember that it exists, I make a few searches on some days.

 

[donavannj]

I just use Google. I'm not searching for much that's not work related these days anyway, and it's got more relevant results than Bing or Yahoo.

 

[Lucario]

I use google. It's just the best.

 

[starseed galaxy auticorn]

Google. Hands down. I use Google ALL OF THE TIME. It may not always be very reliable, but I still enjoy it anyway. <3 I've used Google for years.

 

[Xertified]

Googol for me. RIP my typing skills.

 

[KetsuekiR]

I use Google almost every other minute, to be honest. I find that there's always something to look up, whether it's to verify the statements of another or to find out more about something you come across while surfing the interwebs. Plus the image search has that nifty function where you can search using an image and that's often very helpful in finding uncredited sources and such.

Google of course. =p It loads the fastest and provides me with the most relevant information. Everything Yahoo! puts out seems to be extremely clunky and laggy, from the search entires to their e-mail, so their search engine is the last thing I'd want to use. :(

 

[xoddf2]

My main search engines are (in order) DuckDuckGo, Ixquick, and (as a last resort) Google. DuckDuckGo's !bangs are useful.

 

[Lucario]

I've changed, now a massive DuckDuckGo fan. !bangs and "official site" make it so much better than google

 

[Drayton]

Very common I use google and a lot and DuckDuckGo for very high privacy

 

[Melfice]

I use Google. I rarely use any other search engine.

 

[Maki-Nishikino]

i go back and fourth between google and bing my primary searches are Maki images and Rem Tokimiya images

 

[Cordeline]

I use DuckDuckGo because of the "!" trick. You can quickly search on many sites if you use DuckDuckGo ^^.

For example, if I open a new tab and I want to search for something on Google, I type:

!g "thing I want to search".

Or for Google Images:

!gi "thing I want to search".

Even when I want to quickly check an anime out on MyAnimeList:

!mal "Anime Name"

or Amazon:

!amazon product I want to search.

And I think there's many more ^^.

I think Google gives better results than DuckDuckGo, but I love that tiny feature I get out of DuckDuckGo so I use it as my default engine.

Huh wow, that's a pretty interesting trick they have built in. It works on Bing as well if you do "!b" :)

 

[Hikamaru]

Google. Yes I'm boring but it's what I've used for a long time now.

 

[EC]

Google. But I use Bing every morning for their Bing Rewards program. Have gotten so many $5 Amazon giftcards over the years. Which I then use to buy $5 .mp3 albums.
