7,693 | Google. YAY! Altavista is also cool, you can get a LOAD of crap off there. It's a tie between the two for accuracy, but I'm going to say google for the pure fact that it's just easier to use.

3,090  | I use Google but mostly just for images. I used to use Wikipedia for information but half the time I would look elsewhere only to find the stuff on Wiki to be inaccurate. Never bother with others as Google does the job just fine.

2,899 | Google is what I use. It's built into this neat toolbar so hey, why go somewhere else when it's right there. >.>; Yeah I know, I'm lazy. It gets results though so I can't complain. ~DragonHeart~

3,007 | I'm with Chez; Google and Altavista. Google for the ordinary, every day searches. I use it the most to look for pictures, however; I rarely search the internet for anything else anymore, as per most the stuff I want to find can be found at a few big web domains anyway. I guess you can also search for videos through Google, but I never use it for that. Altavista, I use to search for mp3's. People host all kinds of mp3's on their personal pages. It's great, although you can't find everything that way, obviously. Most likely just the most famous songs by a particular artist. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom

1,398 | I only use Google. Creature of habit. And it's pretty. Colors... I'd feel very unsure if I used another engine. Though I use wiki, answers.com, and howstuffworks.com on the side.

757 | google's search algorithms are untouchable. not to mention the image search has been the key to the success of many anonymous humorous myspace comments. i'll google image search things like "slaughter" or "cute pandas!" or "helmouth" or "exploding planet" or "magical forest" - and you know what? it never stops being endlessly entertaining - the internet at its finest. although i'm not down with the chinese censorship of the google image search,or how google ads is responsible for all the FFXI gil/powerleveling pushing on TFF

501 | I use google. I've been using it my whole life basically. Plus, it is easy to use and sometimes the google banner would change to match the holidays!

1,016 | I don't know others one and Google is best and probably first search machine that people get to know. And It doesn't so much competitors so people use it.
