I've typed my word in the search engine box so where exactly is the information that I requested? Where is it hiding amongst all this other, ahem, "doggy business". It just seems that instead of finding what I need, I wind up spending hours running around in circles visiting sites that offer more sites, offering more sites, that once again offer up more listings for sites.

All I want is what I typed in! Where the heck is the information that I requested?

Grrrrrrrrrrr! I just want to stop running around in circles, get off the Merry-Go-Round, grab an aspirin, crawl back into my little life and get on with living! Instead here I sit searching for that all vital piece of information that I need and sifting through hundreds upon hundreds of pages to find it.

This information clutter has become one of my favorite pet peeves concerning the search engines on the internet, and I am speaking in particular about that largest of all offenders, Google!

We are forced to wade through the hundreds upon thousands of not so relevant links to eventually find that one link which will actually provide us with that all vital piece of information that we seek.

Now if you are one of those extremely strange creatures who find wading through all the information that the web has to offer fascinating, then this is not likely to be a problem for you so go ahead and Google it, enjoy the adventure.
But if you are like me, and almost collapse in tears when you see a number like 50,300,000 show up as possible solutions to my search, then you might like to try a more relevant search engine. A search engine without quite the full degree of information that Google has managed to acquire.

Sometimes doing a dual search and checking out more that one search engine works out even better, because you may actually turn up information that has somehow been missed being added to Google. Wow! Who could have thought that might be a possibility? But did you know that for all that mess of information that Google has amassed, it still carries less than 50% of all the information currently available on the web.

So you could go with one of the other top three search engines and Yahoo
