I have such a hard time finding what I'm looking for on other search engines. I mean, it happens with google at times too, but some of the others really waste my time. I seem to get more "alternative" results than anything. It's like trying to look for shoes on Amazon and getting inundated with anything ever to do with shoes, instead of them just showing me the darned shoes, lol. Always trying to sell us something else (when if they'd just show me what I want, I'd buy that!).

I've heard about Bing but haven't tried it yet because I'm used to Google and I love using it. By the way, I tried using Yahoo but for me, Google is the best. Maybe I just don't want to confuse myself and stick to what I'm used to. ;)

I use DuckDuckgo search engine because it respects your privacy. This search engine comes as default in Firefox on my Linux Mint SO. As far as I remember Tor also uses it. The results may not be as good as Google but at least your data is not used to Spam your mailbox.

I'm currently using DuckDuckgo as well. But I still use Google from time to time because I know that it can show more results. Bing is not good search engine because it will have different, not good results.

I've been using Google ever since but I also use Opera for alternative just in case the flash won't work in my Google Chrome.

Both Bing and Yahoo search engines are compressed with everything from news, tools, etc. Google and DuckDuckgo are both simpler if you want simplicity.

I set my default search engine to Google because I think it is the best search engine. though there are times when I used other search engines too like that of Yahoo and Bing. Though, most often, I use Google because of the more appropriate and timely results.

Both yahoo and bing search engines have compressed interface and I don't want those. Also, they have ads hiding in the corners.

I use google everytime I want to search anything. I don't see why anyone would want an alternative- my own view. That alternative should then be Yahoo.

Some prefers to have news or other features that you can possibly imagine like Yahoo, which I don't. Some prefers simplicity like Google. Anonymity is preferred when using DuckDuckGo and similar search engines.

Check out PreSearch, it allows you to search using a wide variety of search providers, and it also pays you in Cryptocurrency for your first 32 searches every day.

I haven't heard this concept, a search engine that pays you. It should rename as PaidSearch rather than PreSearch. :lol: Although, 32 searches would be equivalent to how much in cryptos?
