I have always used Google and never had a problem with it so see no reason to change.

In the following order:



Everyclick http://www.everyclick.com which gives money to charities (you can search for the charity which you want to give to).



If I can't find what I want AltaVista http://www.altavista.com for translation http://uk.babelfish.yahoo.com (sadly not for Turkish)



Google for ease.

A lot faster? A normal Google search is approx 0.11 second. How much faster do you need and what will you do with the time saved? There must be more to it than that. I am still using normal Google at the moment.

Google. Some of the other search engines get their info from Google anyway

Just to be pedantic, google chrome is a web browser, an alternative to internet explorer and not a search engine

There are hundreds of search engines, some are for common use (Google and the likes), others are specialised in certain subjects (history, software, science etc etc). There is not one - not even Google - that gives all the results (text or pictures/graphics) you may be looking for. So it is advisable to check more than one search engine. I collected many URL's for search engines and will place them with a short explanation on my [DC'S PORTAL]: http://is.gd/5ILD3 (the main page gives you a limited choice already: see "Useful sites").
