The best search engine on the net is DOGPILE. IT searches more then one search engine. So if google doesnt find it another will and dogpile will show it to you.
I haven'T even heard of dogpile in ten years. LOL. I'm having a flash back. Alt-vista use to rule the roost for a while then Yahoo.
Altavista is still my main search engine.
Can't particularly stand Google if not just because of all the brain dead fan boys who adore it!! It IS NOT the almighty best of everything it does.
Only thing I use Google for is my 3 spam infested, crappy running, e-mail accounts!! -- The Firefox alternative. »www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/
