Which Search Engine Do You Use?

Laughing as I type this. I was asked this morning which search engine I used, and it was a multiple choice question and it went like this:

1. Bing

2. Google

3. Yahoo

4. Ask

5. Dogpile

Well I cracked up, I had heard of all the others apart from the last one. Anyone use Dogpile?

dogpile.co.uk

Oh dear you will attract the flys

I've heard of that before, Veg Grower. I predominantly use good old Google.

Yeah, I've used Dogpile quite a lot. It's a good metasearch engine.

Some more here..

Onlyme - do you have a brother whose first name begins with 'S'?

I've just read "meta search engines" will search all areas of the internet whereas google is restricted" - is that the gist of the difference, Onlyme? I've not tried using any of them before.

jo anne, see this wiki page about metasearch engines

And no, veg grower, I don't have a brother with an S in front. I've seen the user posting on here though. I don't know who was here first, either. I joined WW several years ago and then lost contact through working away.

Onlyme - I was just messing, you were right I was referring to 'Sonlyme'.

PS - thanks for the info on the 'meta search engines' I learned something else new today.

Thanks for that, Onlyme.

I've just checked - Sonlyme joined in May 2006 and you joined in Dec 2007.

Guess I'm the younger brother then

Both are great usernames - I didn't realise sonlyme was said "s'only me" till very recently.

Yeh, I've been using Dogpile for several years now and it's my Homepage. I don't like Google.

I use google through the safari app on my iPad ......

google for me and i've been here since 2006

Google all the time now, hard to better IMO

google

I heard and used dogpile ages ago... Its been around a number of years. I have used it a few times

Quite an interesting BBC article - Who, what, why: What is 'ungoogleable'? Link
