What's a better search engine?
I am googled out. Altavista's not much better and dogpile stinks. I used to get Proquest with my NY Public Library card to search periodicals but that's long gone - budget cuts. Of course Bloomberg will find $600 million for a football stadium, but the libraries and the firehouses get cuts.

Anyway, rant aside, what's a better search engine?

Thanks!

2. I Got The Firefox Browser This Past Week
And added 10 search engines to it plus the major news sites.

The best part is NO POP-UP's!

3. I'm a big Google fan.
I can't really recommend anything else. What kind of problems are you having with Google?

8. Google is the best,
but Dogpile is close. AltaVista is garbage indeed.
