[Closed] search engines other than google?

There are other search engines?

Kidding aside, I sometimes Yahoo by accident and its sh*te.

Try Bing

Not saying it's any good, just that it exists.

Not sure of the address, try googling it!

I've stopped using search engines. I just post on here.

Ask

(I don't use it but it exists).

Aren't the stats something like 98% use Google. 😯

most SEO companies only use Google as a yard stick

If you google 'google' you'll break the internet 🙂

Bing is good.
Works like a google clone.

Google has western dominance for now. China, the biggest growth area for internet is dominated by a search engine called baidu.

Bing is awful. If you search for something - a massively popular website with that exact title comes up way down the list. Total shite.

Yahoo is ok but not great.

There is a good reason why google is the only one most people use.

I use [url= http://blindsearch.fejus.com/ ]Blind Search[/url] every now and again - surprising how often you don't pick Google - it gives search results from Google, Bing and Yahoo. Depressingly Goggle is by far the best though.

I'm guessing Roper, that you ride a rigid singlespeed, just to make life more difficult for yourself...

Is there anyway to refine searches on Google.

It seems that pretty much whatever I search for returns millions of sites. I want to be able to exclude some criteria, add extra ones, make some more important than others.

Stuff so you can actually find what you are looking for rather than just plowing through thousands of kind iof related sites?

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, well some of them.

I'm a huge fan of [url= http://www.wolframalpha.com ]Wolfram Alpha[/url], which isn't really a traditional search engine, but a "computational knowledge engine"

If you want to find how popular your name is, what the population of your town is, compare a rabbit and a hare or compare a DNA sequence then it is the place to go.

BBB in google just use the minus symbol followed the keyword you wish to filter out from the search.

http - that sort of gets there but ideally I would like to be able to return a set of search results and then keep refining to find what was relevent rather than keep rerunning the entire search

BBB after running a search click the 'Search within results' at the bottom or the screen.

BING = YAHOO

IIRC it was a joint venture between microsofts money and yahoo's algorythm in an attempt to preven both from disapering.

erm use the advanced search?

http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en

or use http://www.dogpile.com/ - it searches the search engines and strips out duplicates in the results

STWoogle

DMOZ

I've seen the telly adverts. bing scares me - it turns you into a wierd zombie creature, definitely wouldn't use it after that.

Bing works differently to Google

Ask Jeeves.

I've used Blackl on and off. I might use it more now. http://uk.blackl.com/ or just make it my homepage instead of Google.

I would be interested to see just how much less power my monitor uses with black screen v white. (Who has a power line energy monitor - do tell us). But if everyone did it it'd probably save a nuclear power station or two.

Dogpile

Holy hell, there's a blast from the past. I used to use Dogpile as weapon of choice in pre-Google days, it was ace.
