★★ HELP WITH SEARCHING ★★
◙ I used to have so much trouble finding what I wanted. That's because I didn't know the best methods for filtering my searches. Now I rarely have trouble finding what I want. Thanks to a great web site called GoogleGuide. Click on the "Novices Click Here" button to read about Google's fantastic search syntax. Yahoo has some of these operators too. But not even close to the amount that Google has. Below are a few examples.
site:briefcase.yahoo.com (mp3)
intitle:”parent directory” (mpg|avi|wmv|mov) "strauss"
inurl:forum intitle:recipes intext:cookies

◙ Some of what you will learn at the GoogleGuide was used to create the following special search tools.

◙ You shouldn't rely on just one search engine. There are many really good ones and they don't all have the same things in them. One might have links to HTML sites etc. and another might not. There are currently 800,000 search engines. Most of them are specailty search engines. Here are several hundred generalized search engines. Plus a few specialized search engines I threw in for my own use.

◙ Google is the very best full-text search engine. But when you want a much deeper search you should use the number one cluster search engine.

If you are in a really big hurry you can search many search engines at once by using meta search engines. These will give you the top-ten most-relative results of each engine they search.

◙ Here is a way to search many different search engines from a single portal. I use this everyday to research your questions before answering them. Select a resource from the dropdown menu, type in your keywords, and click search.

I think it depends on what information you require. Ask seems to be a better search engine for finding images but google can also be useful for this. When I search for information, I usually use google but I sometimes search on Ask so that I get more of a combination of results. I don't think that lycos and excite are very good search engines so I rarely use these.
Most people use google as their main search engine but that is only probably because of the reputation that the company has and not neccessarily because it is the best.
