Google

When it comes to search engines, Google is by far the best. It provides you with information, articles, images, videos, and more. When I need information on a subject fast, I can always count on Google to have it all.

The internet is full of facts. Without Google, it would be very difficult to find information. By typing one word, thousands of results pop up. For example, if I was planning on going on a vacation, I could look up hotels in the area I am staying. Instantly, thousands of hotels in that area will show up. If I wanted to narrow that down, I could research hotels in that area within a certain price range. To go even further, I could look up the information and say the hotel needs a pool. Google lets me be as specific as I need to be.

Not only does Google give me a surpassingly large amount of resources, it also gives me choices. I can get the information from any of the websites. Google gives me clean result and the ability to refine. Anything I throw at Google can meet my requests. It’s speedy, helpful, and always has an answer for me.

While Google has expanded way beyond being just a search engine, the search engine is still by far the most useful aspect of Google. If what you're looking for is on a public webpage, and you're moderately clever at entering the right keywords in the search box, Google will find it for you.

UPDATE: I still don't care about a lot of the extra crap that Google has added (Google Plus, the scam they refer to as Google Adsense, etc.), but in addition to being the best search engine out there, I do think that Google Chrome is far superior to both IE and Firefox.

it is a great site that help people in getting information

Thank you Google! I've found everything I ever need to look up!

awesome website ... only place i use to search

The very nice site

Google is best and most search engine on the web since the company has been started.
I found that they provide more relevant results then any other search engines like Bing. It is good that they present the website and the map of the searched item among the first results.
The image and books search and integrating Google Maps is something that kept Google the king of search engines.
I really like the suggestions while I am typing something in the search bar. They are very useful and prevent you from typing a lot or having any typo. Similar function is the suggestion of correct search terms if there are search results without that typo.

Amazing search engine, the best engine on the web with advanced search features. Google has books, videos, images and tonnes more! Very cool and an amazing search engine altogether, great for finding things that i hard to find on the web.

Google is best search engine as well as provide the gmail as best mail provider , other services from google are too good and all free

Google used to be the king. They didn't run advertisements, they appeared to try really really hard to be a stand up corporation. They even ran with the slogan "don't be evil". I'm a cynical bastard and i liked em. But what the hell google? 30 second advertising? Thats annoying! Lowest rating on 'Privacy international'? (A watchdog consumer report type company) Thats my privacy! Wha..Wait a minute Google!! You're helping communist china suppress its freedom loving people!? THATS FUCKIN EVIL!! (contrary to bushian belief, everyone loves freedom..retard.) Don't take my word for it. But don't take googles word either. They're gaining a monopoly of the internet. And like any fresh evil corporation, they clearly want your piece of the pie.

I'm not saying surf yahoo. They also have an evil hard-on for china.

This is best search engine, and... just NOW there's on map with Street view map is now available in some cities including: Minneapolis/St. Paul, Dallas, Boston, Indianapolis and
others. There's no one would be better than Google. GOOGLE ROCKS!

UPDATE: 5/9/2010 - There is still no street view for my old hometown. Darn it.
Also, I can't wait for Google internet optic-fiber in our area. :)

Updated Comment 4/4/2010: Seven years later, and here I am: Google's virtually has the monopoly as far as search engines go, and for good reason. It's pretty much the standard (I know Microsoft's Bing is trying to compete, but it really does suck): Hell, "Google" is so ingrained in our culture that it's now used as a verb (as in "I looked it up on the internet"; "I googled the name, and I found this." Kind of like how "Kleenex" is synonymous with "tissue"). I use Google for searching, Gmail for e-mail, Google maps for directions . . . I wouldn't mind using Google Docs, but I'm pretty skeptical about putting up personal business documents on the internet.

It does what it's supposed to, and it does it well.

Orig. Comment 4/2/03: Out of the search engines I use (Yahoo, Google, Alltheweb), I prefer Google, specifically for what I do. I often search for pictures to help in making 3D models, and their ability to search for pictures is very good. It's easy to navigate, and allows you to search the web, images, groups (?), directory (?), and news. It allows for a pretty good advanced search, too. I get quite a few unrelated pages/images, but that's to be expected, and it's a lot less than some other search engines.

A bit biased here I suppose...as I use google, and gmail...and google docs. I use them for a reason though, they work for me...I've never actually been let down by them and they are absolutely priceless when involved in any sort of collaboration. In reality they actually are...they are priceless...as in free. I use google docs with everything. I am quite proudly a google fanatic.

The only complaint I would have about Google is that now & then it feels as if it has taken over the entire world of the good ol' "Internets." I like having options to choose from and wish that some of the other old search engines that are now like ghost towns could have given Google some more competition.

But I keep going back to Google and Google is the first place I'll go for a search. What I really love the most about Google's search engine is not the main search, as I find that is not as 'real time' as the other spots - peek around Google & check out Google's blog search, news search, video search and group search. It's in those areas where I usually find both the most up to date information as well as finding some hidden gems of info I would never have found on the main search (well, maybe on page 99, but even I stop somewhere! :P ). Not to mention the beauty that is Google's book search, which offers the option to look at the full content of many books entirely for free, and offers many others in 'limited preview' mode. It will also tell you what exact pages your search query appears on in the books it is in. So give all those links up top a thorough look on Google & be ready to get some lovely surprises!

Setting up your Google account & then setting up your 'IGoogle' for your Google start page is also a wonderful way to be alerted in real time of breaking news on things that are important for you - it allows you to choose search queries that you would like to have in widget-like boxes on that main page, I use it for the blog search. It refreshes each time a new blog has been posted about that search query. Having it right there is one small step for me in my fight against carpal tunnel. ;) It also allows plenty of other gadget-y widget-y goodness to be on your front page & is totally customizable.

There are several different email programs that I like, but Google wins hands down on being able to send and receive files with the most ease. I'd highly recommend Gmail if you need to work with file sending/receiving frequently.

& Now I'm off, it looks like some of the blog search results on my IGoogle page have updated! Oh, Internet addictions, how I love thee. & Google for making it possible!

I have to admit it. Google is the search engine I use most, by far... I also do usually find what I'm looking for.

Google = My one and only search engine.

You'd have a hard time convincing me that Google isn't useful.

But I'd be lying if I said its ubiquity on the net didn't make me a little uneasy.

You can't fault the folks at Google for its commanding perspective into our lives because it's the site's (and its applications') utility that has caused Google's cyber footprint to be as expansive as it is. And, arguably, that very utility hinges on Google's ability to "read" our emails, record our search histories, etc.

BUT, Google's unique ability to pry open private lives would be devastating in the wrong hands. Yes, Google's motto is "Don't be evil," but we've already seen the good folks at Google compromise their originally purist opposition to censorship when they agreed to provide service to China. Who's to say Google's unique perspective into our private lives can't be bought for the right price as well?

I'm not about to dump my Gmail account (it's the best email service out there, and I recommend it), but these are some things to think about, especially in light of Obama's failure to make good on his campaign promise to strike down the Patriot Act.

Really like some of Google's applications, their only real downside is the number of problems I have to fix with their Google Mini Appliances.

LOVE GOOGLE!! It's my opening page and I navigate from it all the time. THE BEST!!!

Google (Gmail) is my backbone and best friend on the internet. I use all of their services religiously and try to get others onboard. To start, Gmail is simply the best. The searchable archives have saved me many times. I wish I had archives back to the early days of the internet, but alas, no gmail then. I also use calendar, docs, picasaweb, blogger, checkout and google reader. I trust them to "do the right thing" more than almost any company online. They are innovative and customer focused.

Google has set themselves as the standard that all other search must aspire to.

The best by so far that it even has its own verb... and on top of that it provides the best e-mail service.

Great Search Engine : Promote the product in positive way . Offer the opportunity like adsense .... Really fantastic search engine

I find google to be the ultimate search engine. If you can't find it on google, you probably don't need to know about it.

This is my favorite search engine, and it is a wonderful service.

Google is badass!

<3 I loooove google and pretty much everything they do. Google apps is my de facto office suite, and google reader is one of the things I spend a majority of my time online using in tandem with blogs. There are a number of intutitve power-user functions that you can discover in everything webapp they make.

that's the search engine that everyone should use.

i look up tons of stuff on here and i usually end up with what i want

The best out there, but is very invasive when it comes to privacy. Google saves all of your searches and a lot of your other data.

Nothing beats google

I love google and anything google related, my gmail is awsome and I google everything

goodsearch.com is better...helps benifit the charity of your choice

I love Yahoo.

My earlier rating was 2, and it remained that way for close to 2 years. I am ashamed of saying that I have used it every since. It is obviously the best search engine out there. I previously said that it was ranked so high, because kids simply liked the name "google." I have recently found that out to be bogus. Google, is great. I use it for all of my searches now. I don't even mess with the others. I am ashamed to say I used to use others... because at that point, I never really used Google.

I admit, I am lazy when it comes to searching the web and typically just type what I am looking for in my url box which means that MSN does my search, but whenever I don't get the results that I want from my lazy search I immediately go to Google, because I pretty much always find what I needed. I understand some peoples frustration with the ads that Google works with, but I see them as valuable, after all you don't have to click on them and you can immediately tell which ones pertain to you and which ones don't. Sure Google isn't perfect, but then who is?

The best search engine by far.

Simply the best and most reliable. The interface couldn't be easier to use. Great services.

Google rules. Find what you want, because they make some smart guesses to match you to the correct site. Interesting company as well. Google Groups, Google Local, and Google Images are the best in their class as well. (And don't forget google maps, which, if you are looking at an area they cover, is incredible).
