Google Accounts For More Than 65% Of U.S. Searches

theres no stopping Google..or is there?
who uses Google?
I do for nearly all searches
only when I am searching for images I would use Google firstly then try live and yahoo
I think until the other SEs provide more relevant searches and people start to notice then Google will be here
I read that once another SE is able to provide more relevant searches then searches will leave instantly
thats how it happened with other engines

I never use anything but google.

I always use google. Even if it's just to check the spelling of a word...

yahoo I use sometimes (if I can't find anything on google), but not often.

I make a decision to use yahoo because I'd like to see google take a big dive in standings. they are real jerks.

maybe but if it was any other SE theres a good chance they would upset the same people also

I bet this just hacks the *%@# out of MS...you know they would just love to dominate that in addition to everything else!!

they have been throwing money at the problem to try and better their search algo but I think its still one of the weakest with a lot of spam in the index

spam + index =

I used Yahoo for the longest time and then now google and pretty much just that. I should really take a peek at some of the others though

I just like the look of googles site. Maybe i'm just used to it.

It's just a simple looking site which serves it's purpose correctly. Other search engine sites I find have advertisements about the place and other things like news storys or whatever, which isn't what I want if i'm just going to search for something else on the internet.

yea im the same
google is nice and simple and thats a plus when most of the web is covered with advertising (ahem adsense)
