I like alltheweb.

Though for specific UK stuff it'll be Lycos.

Elmer Google - That is superb

Spend far too long on technical Audios. Anytime anyone says "I'll do some research and get back to you", you just know they're typing www.google.com

Occasionally Yahoo for a specifc big name Site that I dont quite know the correct URL for.

Used to use Excite, until it was taken over by Lycos. Most of the time I now use Google.

'google' has become a verb in recent years ... "Did you google that, or are you just a smart **** ?"

Webferret is v.good, I've used it exclusively for over 5 years now. Mind you, they're getting a bit spyware-ish of late, and log all sites you visit via them.

So what happened to all the good search engines
Northern Light used to rock, now its useless.

Mind you, gone are the days when you used to guess-type a url and get . . . . nothing Everything seems to be taken these days.
