Definately Google. It's search engine turns up way more results, and I just like the look of it better. I even have a gmail instead of a yahoo mail.

I was going to say that as well smile.gif
Its easier, quicker I believe and more appropriate results with what your looking for. I remember back in the day when I was in primary school, while using Yahoo and Ask Jeeves, always complaining that I couldn't find what I was looking for. But I guess technology has changed that.

i agree, mel golfer and sairah. i do think google is better, the same reasons that you two have stated. it is quicker and more accurate. i rely on google more than yahoo, although i do have yahoo and gmail accounts lol.gif

If any of you have heard of MyLifeIsAverage.com, you would know that google vs. yahoo wars always have a clear winner. It's google. Personally, I like google but Yahoo is cool because if you click on the "!" you get a surprise. wink.gif

Just because you posted, I had to go check that 'surprise' out for myself. lol.gif

Personally, I have really become enamored of Bing. It seems to be getting me the sites I am looking for (but I haven't done a side-by-side comparison versus the other search engines.) I also really enjoy the hidden links each day in the image on the main Bing page. tongue.gif

I agree that bing is also very accurate but it when I need to find information, my fingers always seem to type google.

I could sit on Yahoo and keep clicking that !. tongue.gif
