    In October 2003, AltaVista was taken over by Yahoo!. In Aug. 2004, shortly after Yahoo!’s acquisition, the AltaVista site started using the Yahoo! Search technology.

    Simple, the better search engine will return more hits than the other.

    Results for search term "a"
    Google: Results 1 - 10 of about 12,780,000,000 for a
    Yahoo!: 1 - 10 of about 33,000,000,000 for a
    Altavista didn't report # of hits which is gay
    Ask: Showing 1-10 of 3,016,870,000
    MSN: 1-10 av 13 900 000 000
    -----------
    Clearly a giant win for Yahoo! not even Google came close
    That busted my idea about Google being god..

    Google is nicer than Yahoo. Those are the only two I ever really think of using. Occasionally Encarta is necessary, but Google does fine for anything other than easy history information. Google is my main search engine.

    I like Blackle. It's like Google, but most of the screen is black, so it uses less energy on your monitor.

    Save the world with your search engine!

    I use Google. Mostly because I have the little search bar in the corner, and because it is easy to use. Blackle sounds good, though! =P

    I voted Google, but it's really a tie for me between Google and Yahoo!. I'm a loyal Yahoo! user, and also have my e-mail address there. Because I have my e-mail with Yahoo!, I get to use Yahoo! Answers, which can be good at times.

    Even though Yahoo! has more functions and a better image search (in my opinion), along with a video search, Google is still pretty good, and has some great searches. I like Yahoo!, but I can't really decide 100%.

    Im always using yahoo. Mostly because its my homepage and its my email service. Although whenever I use google it always pops up stuff that is useless to what im searching for. I usually find what i'm searching for through yahoo. I think Google is way overrated.

    I've only ever used Google, so my answer is a little bit biased. I think it's a great search engine for a variety of things, but I love Google Image search. I find all kinds of interesting art works and fun images using that feature.

    Starting from the fact that 1 times on 3 when I'm searching something I don't find it in any search engine, my favourite is Google.

    I tried MSN, yahoo, Virgilio and many other but they aren't as good as google.

    And Google offer lots of services if you register an account!
    I always use a little part of them like gmail, calendar, documents, wave and things like these!
