I have used Google for a long time now and have tried many other search engines, but always come back to Google as I find I get the quickest and best results here. Does anyone out there agree?

I second that! I like google very much.

yes i think so too..

but i want google to have some competition... that will make them better

No doubt

I have to agree, I have always been a strict user of Yahoo.......but I see myself using Google more and more each day!

Yes, Google is best. But Yahoo is not too far behind. MSN really sucks!

I agree, Google is by far the best search engine, at times I do use Yahoo and MSN too, but my preferred search engine is Google.

Google is still the best but when it comes to the recent update that really sucks. As a webmaster I lost a lot of index pages and almost 80% of traffic

Google have more results, but when you are searching for something new, you go to MSN, when Google shows it, its not fresh anymore

I remember like 6 or 7 years ago, my friend told me to use this search engine called Google.

I was like---listen, I love Yahoo, I dont see why I would use this instead. They have the news links right there, and sure the ads are annoying, but its the only way to search.

Now, I ONLY use Google. Cant imagine using anything else to search.

I always use Google in first place, using specific keywords when I search, but when I don't find what I look for in the first 2-3 pages I try on Yahoo! instead of using different queries in Google. I usually find Google results more relevant, but I sometimes the SERPs exclude some sites, guess that for considering spam, that are actually relevant.

I used to be a Yahoo user--until Google went online.

Google's the best by far and relatively harder to SPAM than the rest of the other SEs. That definitely adds to its quality. For an example of how SE spam can kill a search engine, just check out altavista.

TBH I think google has gone downhill a lot lately. I normally do well enough out of it, but when I'm trying to get new clients in it's a nightmare.

Example:

A recent project, search for Boat Repairs North Wales in google.

The #1 & #2 is my website design site - nothing to do with boat repair
#3 & #4 are BBC news stories
#5 news story
#6 & #7 another search engine/directory
#8 a marina
#9 & #10 another search engine/directory

so on the 1st page only 1 result related to the actual search

Now do the same search on MSN
#1 My client
#2 & #3 Me
#4 another search engine/directory
#5 Boat repair company
#6 Vaugely related
#7 Another search engine/directory
#8 Boat repair company
#9 BBC News Story
#10 not related

so that's 3 related to the actual search = 3x better than Google.

I think google is placing far too much empasis on it's algorithms, and not enough on actually getting relvant results.

my client still not showing up in all but the most rediculously specific searches, after 4 months online, and despite being spidered regularly and having a PR of 3 on the home page, which is respectable enough.

Personally I still use google, but must admit I find myself wandering over to MSN more and more.

I've always favored Goggle from the start, never really used anything esle. I know this may probably be old news but, Microsoft launched their search engine a while ago called LIVE.com , well anyways all i've got to say that it sucks *** ... with flash and all, the amount of time it takes for things to load. Its such PITY ...

Google is awesome! It's my number one search engine, as I can get into just about any site with it.

Many years ago I used to use yahoo but now I never do and I only use Google. I am a huge fan of Google as I believe they have done so much for the internet.

I like google very much as well it is one of the best
