Which is the best search engine ?
I think google is number one search engine. But this is my personal preference. What if we do an analysis, why not to search in different search engines to see which is the best search engine. Here we would take our search term as “search engine”. Below is the results I got when I searched for “search engine” in different search engines.
Google: 2. AltaVista, 3. Dogpile, 4. Lycos, 5. Google, 6. Yahoo, 7. Freefind, 8. Exite, 9. Hotbot, 10. MetaCrawler
Yahoo: 1. Yahoo, 2. Google, 3. Altavista, 4. Dogpile, 5. Hotbot, 6. Lycos, 7. Ask Jeeves, 8. WebCrawler, 9. AllTheWeb, 10. MetaCrawler
Altavista: 2. CNET Search.com, 3. Google, 4. Altavista, 7. Yahoo, 8. Dogpile,
Dogpile: 1. Altavista, 2. Google, 3. MetaCrawler, 6. Yahoo, 7. Lycos, 8. Dogpile, 9. WebCrawler, 10. Excite
Lycos. 2. Aol, 9. Google, 10. Msn
Msn: 2. Dogpile, 3. Altavista, 4. Google, 5. MetaCrawler, 6. Webcrawler, 7. Avatarsearch, 8. Search.com, 10. Mamma
I am a bit confused with the above data and so do I think the search engines. So be confused and do your searches on the search engine you feel comfortable.

I agree with Amit

Google is my favorite and I don’t really like Yahoo or the others. My wife loves Yahoo and refuses to use Google. So I guess everyone has their own preferences – which might be a little emotional and therefore tought to measure…
I think Google is the best one – but I don’t like the fact that “newer” websites take awhile to show up. I sometimes check Yahoo or MSN to see if anything newer is out there… Other than that – Google would be perfect!
