Search engines: Viable alternatives to Google

it at Yahoo, use MSN's Live Search or Ask Jeeves at Ask. You can also Dogpile your question, AltaVista it, WebCrawl it at Webcrawler or HotBot it at HotBot. Then you can also check out the offerings at Alltheweb or Wisenut.

If you are shopping and it is a certain item that you searching for, Google has it's Froogle or you can visit Shopzilla, Best-Price.com, Bizrate, Beta.shopping.msn, Shopping.yahoo.com or any other number of shopping sites that will show up when you enter them as a subject in one or more of your favorite search engines.

As for me I just have no patience when it comes to searching the web. I actually enjoy visiting the dentist much more than I enjoy conducting research via the search engines on the World Wide Web. Now it could just be a character flaw of mine, and one that the senility that comes with old age may cure, but I just can't seem to enjoy all the advantages of our so called new technology.

So I think that for at least today I'll leave any further researching up to someone else. They can have the immense pleasure that comes from racing amongst all the gazillion different sites that are the tributes and flaws of our current search engines. Enjoy the adventure.
