This just makes me laugh.

Let's bash Google! This'll end up in the Cesspool, I'm sure. But I don't care, Google can't advertise for shit!

The only thing Google did right was Gmail. Their search engine is mediocre. Their advertisements are shitty. That's all there is to it.

This makes me laugh inside.

The search engine, cato, has the same kind of ads that they put in SciForums.

Right now, I see that they are advertising neurobiology and neuroscience info under my post. What the fuck?!

Only like on the far right, I don’t see how that causes a problem? I can find things on google better than any other engine. What do you guys use?

Then the question arises: "What is the best search engine on the web?"

Google is, but that's not saying much.

Let's face it. Search engines are shitty.

Dogpile (dogpile.com), MetaSearch, (metasearch.com) SWISH (http://homepage.mac.com/pauljlucas/software/swish) and a few applications that search WAIS and GOPHER databases for research.

:m: Peace.

I never really liked Google. I prefer <a href="http://www.altavista.com">AltaVista</a>, <a href="http://www.alltheweb.com">AllTheWeb</a>, or <a href="http://search.msn.com">Search.MSN.com</a> (MSN search without all the other crap). I find I get better results.

Probably any one of the search engines can give any of us far more info than we need. And when you get tuned into how to format your searches on a particular engine, it will become your favorite. But the fact is - in simple computational power, Google has FAR more storage space, bandwidth and CPU cycles at their disposal then any other search site does (so far at least) and so their searches will sift through more data than anybody elses (none of them search anywhere near ALL the web).

For web and image search I use Google. It is a very good search engine. I like the directory on google, where it has all the pages categorized. I don't know how anyone can dislike it.

Ah, ya finally came back on, RubiksMaster.

Google is the best search engine, but all search engines I've used are shitty.

And ya don't get how anyone can dislike it? Look at the picture I have in the first post. "New and used monkeys for sale". Come on. :rolleyes:

Yeah, that must be why they have no plans to go public and instead spend forever sucking.

Wait, this just in, Google plans to go public with projections of a worth of at least 10 billion dollars! I blame it on their shitty advertisments! :rolleyes:
