Lightbulb Search Engine of Choice

Whenever I need information, I either go to Yahoo or to Google. Specially with the Google toolbar neatly installed and accessible, it becomes quicker to search for anything. Search results are often satisfactory and if I don't find it in Google, I go to Yahoo, or vice versa. My friend introduced me to AskJeeves (it has been renamed, I think), which I rarely use. As for MSN, I don't really use it, unless I just logged out of my hotmail account and the homepage gets back to MSN.

My statistic from my website hosting show me that 60% if all visitors come from Google, Yahoo about 18% and MSN (Live) about 7%.
Rest come from minor search engines and referer from another site.
Google will probably keep it leading position in next a couple years for sure.

I use Google exclusively - its clean, theres no frivilous crap like ads (as in ads that slow down the search greatly - not the text ads), "Meet Me Now" and other weird and wonderful information such as "How many lines do you think Amy Winehouse snorted today" and to top it all off it has exclusive features such as PageRank and is well up to date.

My Google analytics indicates that I have only 1% visits from Yahoo and 11% from Google.
The majority of our visits is from referral website hostings.
For my searches I always use Google, but I have friends that always use yahoo.
The thing is that when you don't find what you're looking for on a search engine you move to another. I have no reason to change ggl, yet!

I'm anoter exclusive Google user; every other search engine is pretty much useless.

Is that done for a cross verification ? Or is it that you don't trust ask.com

Ask.com went out of favour with me when Jeeves retired!
