Traditionally, polls have done very well in this forum, so hopefully it will make a significant dent in the 36 Posts To Go! before we hit 1000 posts in Computer Discussion.

Which search engine do you use and why?

I'm going with Google, simply because it is the market leader I believe. Every other day it introduces a new program.. maps, Google earth, blogspot etc etc, and it seems the other search engines have to 'catch up' to Google.

I used to use Google as my homepage, but since Firefox has a google search built in (hit f6 for the address bar, and tab from there for the search) I felt it was redundant to also have it for my homepage. Instead, I built a page of links that I use. It's tiny, so it loads quickly, and more often than not, the page I'm heading for is linked from there.
