Searching Online

I've been a user of Google for a long time, like most people. But let me take a minute to review some other good search engines.

Yahoo - I think Yahoo's results are good - maybe as good as Google. They used to not be as good but I think they have improved things. Try switching your browser to use Yahoo for a week and see what you think.

Ask.com - I like their advanced features, very nice. I don't think their results are the best but they're ok. Try them out once in a while.

Bing - The new one. It's good. It's the new, rebranded search engine provided by Microsoft and it's better than what they used to have out there (live.com). I think they figured that if they are to re-do things, it better be darn good and that's what they've done. They have advanced search features - maybe more than Ask.com and Google. So I think some other search engines are now playing "catch-up" to meet some of the features of Bing.com.


So when you're looking for things on the Web, try some different search engines once in a while and change things up. See what you like the best.
