Which Search Engine Do You Use?


This is to get an idea of what search avenue people use to find different services on the web. There may be popular searching styles that you or I are not taking advantage of.

If your search engine is not listed, please do so.

Re: Which Search Engine Do You Use?


google is by far the most popular search engine out there... but not only that, but many companies (like AOL) use google's services for providing their customers with search engine results.

Attached are statistically significant results from comScore on search engine use as of January 2010 collected from thousands of searches done daily.

Google: 65.4%
Yahoo: 17%
Bing: 11.3%
Ask: 3.8%
AOL: 2.5 (But, AOL search is powered by Google, so you can add this 2.5% to google).

PS - You're not going to get statistically valid data from a few dozen forum votes.

I start out with Google. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll go to Bing.
