Search Engines?

Discuss Search Engines?


Posted by: ZhengHe

I was wondering if someone can do a pole of all the common search engines, or maybe all in general. I'd like to see how that comes out that way I'd have a better idea of what alternative search engines I can use or should use. I know there are certain search engines good for searching for certain stuff, I just don't know what they are.

You mean, like a list of search engines?
The list would state SE one is for "xyz"
SE two is good for "abc"

etc.?

well, all major search engines (google, yahoo, msn, etc) all try to be the best in everything and all have an algorithym to rank the results.

anything other than that would be a directory and is manually ranked or results are listed according to human criteria.

Yeah, I guess if should have asked if someone can do a bunch of poles on search engines. There would be different categories with a certain amount of search engines in each and people could pick, which ones they liked and used the most.

Here's an example:

Whats your favorite general search engine?

A.) Google
B.) Yahoo
C.) MSN
D.) Lycos

ect, ect, ect.....

and a different question for each category.


Posted by: Larry

all the major searches try to do the same thing... which is give results, THE BEST results, in any and all categories.

a directory will/can specialize in one category or topic.

so what you need is a listing of specific directories /categories
... then take a poll on those findings?

Google.

Everything else sucks in comparison. They even have nice little festive changes to their logo.

i use altavista or google. and the word you mean to use is "poll". sorry, but i'm a stickler for spelling.

The best is Google, certainly. It holds about 80 % of all search results. Many services use Google search results. Look at this one: you can check PR website and view links...

i believe all of them are so similar but google and yahoo are the most used by me

yahoo returns more results but less accurate compared to google

Yeah, if I need to find something, I use google. Search engines are all the same to me, but google always comes to mind. And yeah, I do love the festive logo changes. =]

Google is the one I use 99% of the time. That being said I must admit that google has become more littered with sponsored sites. It's sorting of listings has become less than desireable over time. Of course this is how they make money so I understand it. It does become frustrating when your looking for information versus shopping. You might have to dig pretty deep into the hits to find what your looking for. Irreregardless it is the best. You have to just become more adept at filtering through all the garbage and sponsored rubish.
