What's Your Search Engine of Choice?

June 4, 2013 1:15:12 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I mostly use Bing on all my devices now as I try to get away from Google as much as possible.  I still have to use Google, but only when I have to.

Just curious, what's your preferred search engine?

Bing and Google, split about half and half...

The thing is, I use IE10, so whenever I immediately search via the address bar I am immediately using Bing...this is mostly due to me not thinking...

When I actually think about it, I almost always go to Google, then do my search...

I'd say I think Google is better, yet I have nothing more than "feelings" to support that claim....anyone tried the Google vs. Bing test?

I tested positive for Google when I last took it, but who knows maybe things have changed...

Bing by default, but I'm not one who really has a concern about these kind of things.

Google, mainly because I quit using IE8 for Firefox and still use XP on a daily basis so I can't use IE9 and 10.

Google. love the knowlege graph and now especially the current Google Maps beta. 

other search engines are poor for non-English (Bing for example) or non-Russian (Yandex) users or do not offer multiple languages at all (Naver, Baidu).

Google, as nearly 93 % of the german internet population.

 

I tried Bing a while ago... its results did not impress me.

Google & Lycos (Used to use Meta Crawler back in the day but it's nearly useless now)

 

Bing doesn't find what I'm looking for 90% of the time. I'll have to check out this duckduckgo I keep hearing about.
