What's Your Favorite Search Engine?

I was speaking with a Verizon rep about a month ago and when I told him my favorite search engine was AOL, he broke into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. "Do people still use that?!" he wanted to know. Now he's got me curious, what is your preferred search engine?

Mozilla firefox is a web browser, not a search engine.

Google is also my friend, but I don't get the JJ page!

Sometimes I use "Dogpile". If you aren't familar with it, check it out.

It uses several of the search engines.

And it has a dog.

I put my vote in for Bing. It's weak, but I don't search much and I'm one of those conspiracy theorists who doesn't trust Google.
