Search Engines

It was good to go back into essentials of a Google search and look around, I haven't really had time to do that in the last year. It reminded me of a few things I can do to make my searches more effective and it also prompted me to add a few of the search features.

Finding a search engine you like for most people is probably all in what you get used to. I've been using Google almost exclusively and I like it because I know how to use it, am familiar with the format and pretty fast getting to what I want. The other search engines I tried all seemed clunky in one way or another, but that is no doubt due to my inexperience with the format.
I do go to other search engines to use specific search features from time to time.

I know my kids prefer Yahoo, for whatever reason, perhaps because it's the one they used first when learning websearch in school and now they just feel the most comfortable with it.
