    I've never needed anything other than Google. Plus it's the Firefox start page.

    I used to use Yahoo a few years ago until I found out about Google, which after trying out was a lot nicer, in terms of results and visually - Yahoo pages are filled excess bloat

    I don't need that crap.
    Sounds about right for Yahoo lately

    Why? Well, it always seems to find what I need, the image search tool is very useful, and the lack of images means that it will load quickly in my browser. Besides, Yahoo irritates me with it's dumb colours and annoying pictures.

    search.yahoo.com = fast loading for those who complain about www.yahoo.com

    Yahoo!: Offers suggestions for refining your searches, better display for results, better result ordering*, lets me know if I have new emails, option to display pdf files as html files, better category system, direct link to audio/video searches, local searches.

    Google: Far less advertising. I also use Google News for email updates. Faster loading, although this is noticeable on my connection so it doesn't matter to me. The difference in size between search.yahoo.com and www.google.co.uk is minimal.

    * come on, Google - "finalfantasyeternal.com/" ahead of "Eyes on Final Fantasy - The Largest Final Fantasy Resource Online"? Please!

    Google also has the pdf to html option.

    I google. Simply because I'm used to it. But if I really can't find the information I need or want, I go to Yahoo.

    I use Google; it simply drives all other search engines into the dust.
