    Default Search Engines

    When you go to look something up on the net, what search engines do you use?
    Metacrawler, Google, Alta Vista, etc....
    I need to submit some stuff to search engines and I am wondering what some of the most popular ones are.
    THANKS!!

    From my Web Development experience and stats analysis - Google and Yahoo are two of the most popular that will provide very different results. Additionally, many engines feed off of "Open Directory Project" which can be found at .

    When I'm looking up technical information I use http://www.dejanews.com. It is owned by google and is a great technical troubleshooting site. For general searches I use google.

    Reg, if you are submitting URL's rather than searching for them, you also need to consider that various search engines have 'preferred placement' programs i.e. if you want any chance that your submitted URL's will appear within the first 10 pages in a search result, it's going to cost you!

    DejaNews actually is not so mucha search engine. It's a way of searching through Usenet feeds. Usenet is actually the original core of the Internet that existed for many many years before the World Wide Web was even a concept. Essentially, it is a composition of thousands of open forums discussing anything from computers, television shows, cooking to adult related topics...you name it.

    Personally, my search engine of choice is more of a portal that hits all of them. www.dogpile.com. It submits your request to all of the top search engines at once and can either give you results based on the average responses of all of them, or give you the top ten responses from each search engine individually.

    I always use yahoo. Every time. Once in a GREAT while I'll use another engine to get more links or if I can't find what I want on yahoo, but that is RARE RARE RARE.
