Default Favorite Search Engine?
I realize yahoo, google, etc is the most typical search engine.

But does any one of you have a favorite that's not well known to others that does so well for internet researching?

I may be biased but I really like the search engine my husband built - Codehead Search - I can usually find an article or blog post there to help me with a technical issue that is otherwise hidden among a zillion other search results on Google.

Otherwise, I'm a straight Google fan (one of the millions of other sheep who blindly accept them as our leader....lol )

My favorite when I'm looking for something obscure- Dogpile.
It searches through Google, Yahoo and a lot of others at once.

I'm generally a Google user. Although I'm becoming less impressed with the quality of the results it spews out these days. I think it was more accurate in the old days.

Although I hate Microsoft and its products (mainly due to the bugs they contain), their search engine www.live.com (MSN Live Search) has been giving me some very accurate results recently. Results that seem (subjectively, I admit) to be less spammy than Google's.

Leapfish.com is fantastic. You don't have to click the search button as it searches on every letter you type. Some could find that a little irritating though!
