Beyond Google?

Something that continues to surprise me to this day is that people use search engines other than Google. I mostly find out what people are using by looking through the referrer logs for my sites, which is a way of finding out where people are coming from (you’d be surprised how many people aren’t looking for free pens anymore).

I guess part of the question is why anyone would use something other than Google. Google is pretty much The search engine for the internet, and everything else feels lacking. Others might claim to have better depth or some other gobbledygook, but Google wins in the end for me.

If you use something other than Google, what is it and why? Please complete your essays by Monday.
