Aside from Google, are there any search engines that the members here utilize on a regular basis or for specialized searches that Google just doesn't work well for?

If you mean the most popular search engines, its Google, then Yahoo, then MSN. A small % makes up the rest. For exact figures you can google it.

I think brasky's asking for experiences from the users here, not general population statistics.

I use Google for pretty much everything. Other than that, I use the internal search function on whatever site I'm on (if available, and I can't otherwise find what I'm looking for).

I use Google for everything. I only use other search engines when I'm testing results. But not to get answers.

I have started using mamma.com. The search results are the same for the most part and I prefer the layout of the site to Google now.

I use google for pretty much everything, but if I can't find it on google, I'll try MSN. Every once in a while they surprise me. I have a feeling MSN is going to be a very close second to google in the near future.

I never thought I'd say this, but truthfully MSN has been the most accurate, & upto date search engine. I have alway been a google fan... but MSN at the current moment seems to be the better engine.

Yeah Google for general searching and analysis.

MSN seems to bring me my favourite results though :?
Its arguably the easiest of the search engines.
