Is Google the Best Search Engine?

I have been using Google now for ages and always assumed that it was unbeatable but I have just come across www.teoma.com which returns many more results on very obscure subjects.

What other search engines do folks use?

Cheers

Mamma (mother of all search engines)

actually a meta-search engine as it dispatches the search to many search engines (including Google)

Thumbs up

Try copernic also combines many other search engines for consolidated result. "Basic" version free.

Quite right to try these other things. Google often takes up to one second for a couple of million matches. Those search engines which search everything including Google couldn't help but be faster.

Google first, daylight second and third.....

Cheers for that one.
