Searching #75: Google and Beyond

1) I did three searches on Blindsearch. I searched myself, purple cala lillies, and my sister's hair salon. The results were shocking. I am an avid google user, I use it at least 3 times a day I'm sure, yet none of the engines I chose were google. That was very surprising. So Google did not fair very well at all, Bing came out first, then yahoo, then google. However this does not change my opinion of google, I have had better success rates in the past with Google rather than others. I will continue to be a GOOGLER. :)

2) Google is ranked number 1 on Hitwise. Yahoo was its closest competitor and it surpassed it by 58%. I guess I am part of the majority who use Google.

3)One of the features that I love about Google is Igoogle. This homepage is so useful. I have all my frequently needed information all in one place alongside my favorite search engine. I checked out the google advanced search options and found something useful. Google allows you to limit date ranges. You can also change the preferences to match your needs. I really prefer google because the information I get is clear and easy to read and sort through and I feel the ads are not as intrusive as you would find on others.

All in all - I'm a GOOGLER!
