"Internet search engines" poll
Do you use multiple Internet search engines? Something other than Google.
Yes...2
No...1
I suppose that Google is the most popular and offers a customized home page with personal goodies and visual themes. Google also offers an image search and maps. [So do other search engines.] I just don't like to put all my searching tools in one basket. Who knows, I have heard tales of Google's searching bias. Nevertheless, there are other general search engines and highly focused search engines.
General:
altavista
Ask
cuil
dogpile
WebCrawler
Yahoo
Specialized:
europeana
Google Books
Google Scholar
picsearch
science.gov
scirus
WorldWideScience
And also available is a browser plugin that probes deeper into web searches...
Surf Canyon browser plugin--tested
