Searching #75: Google & Beyond

In Blindsearch, I typed 3 queries and voted on the columns that best provided the information I was searching for. I voted for my personal favorite, Google, once and Yahoo! Search twice. I will continue to use Google because I like their format better but may dabble with Yahoo! Search occasionally.

Google scored 64.14% visits as top search engine for the week ending 01/23/2010. Yahoo! Search had 10.84% hits and Bing trailed at 9.34%. The usage statistics match my own personal favorite: GOOGLE.

With Google, I can find almost everything I need, including weather, stock quotes, time in cities around the world, sport scores, unit conversions, people profiles, trip planning, package tracking, patent numbers, area codes, dictionary definitions, spell check, local search for stores, restaurants & businesses, movie showtimes, and health conditions.
