It seems everyone (internet wise) wants a piece against Google. Currently Microsoft has released it's own beta version search engine which looks very similiar towards Google's (http://beta.search.msn.com/). Although they have indexed 5 billion pages they are 3 billion short of Google's.
Which do you think is better? I prefer Google (I'm biased) but what do you think?

in all fairness the new msn search is good too. i did a quick glance at it and I liked it. i do a lot of image search and this new msn search is great for that, for example it asks you if you want the picture to show in: "All Large Medium Small Color or B&W" which is pretty cool. check it out for yourself: http://beta.search.msn.com/images/results.aspx?q=bike&size=1t50&color=no&FORM=IFIR4
what do others think?
as far as voting... well, I am biased too and a google freak, LOL! |

Well I hardly ever use something else than Google when I'm searching on the internet. So I can't say a lot about the quality of Yahoo and MSN search. They didn't have a good search engine when I last used it, I'm very happy with Google so I don't intend on using another search engine.

Interesting: "and whilst generally the Beta of MSN Search still has a long way to go to be a fully fledged product, there is one part of it that demands much closer inspection, the Search Builder, which is accessible just below the search box.
It contains the same basic functions as most other search engines: Search Terms, Site/Domain restriction, Country/Region, Language options, but there is an additional feature called ‘Results Ranking’ which gives an indication of the direction MSN may be taking in personalization.
‘Results Ranking’ has three equalizer slider(s) that a searcher can use to customise the results. They are interesting because the sliders have an impact at algorithmic level, influencing the way the search engine actually looks for results. This is a novel approach to personalization as most user level search engine filters are applied to a set of results, delivered via a standard query mechanism.
How to use the slider:
1. To modify your search to add emphasis to sites that have been recently added to the search index, you move the third slider up.
2. To add emphasis to sites by the number of other sites that link to them, move the middle slider up.
3. To put the most emphasis on the match between your exact search words and your results, move the first slider up. This will de-emphasize the two other rankings as search parameters."

Don't you think this poll is going to be a little biased on a Google forum  |

Wow! Are you saying they actually block Google in school? That's censorship gone too far.

Google Nation! It would take something catastrophic for me to change, I'm so dependent upon it and have confidence with its results.
Have any of you used or tried Clusty?
What did you think about it?

to all
with microsoft releasing their own new search engine, i think it will be very difficult for them to try and get users to switch back to microsoft search. teoma was released in opposition to google, and i tried it at first but i got sick of it and went back to google. i think generally as a whole ppl will not change what they are using unless there is a definite benefit in changing. ppl readily changed from their old search engines to google, because it was a lot better. but ppl i think will not change to this new microsoft search because there is no definte advantage over google. |

| I have used both Yahoo and MSN search and always seem to have to Google what I want to find anyway. Yahoo, well, in my opinion is simply a waste of time. I have never heard of Teoma or Clusty, but I really don't feel at this point I even want to check them out. I am very satisfied with Google! When I have to do searches for topics for school, I have always found what I need the easiest with Google. |

| Clusty looks pretty good! Still, though, I'll be sticking with Google until it turns into another Microsoft. I hope that never happens, but if it does, I'll be moving on. |

| Google wins hands down, no contest. The best thing about it is it's simple layout. |
