Search Engines

I had almost forgotten there were search engines other than Google out there. I used to use Dogpile on occasion and have used Mamma a time or two. But lately it's just easier to go to Google for the everyday kind of searching I do.
Now that I've been reminded there are others, if I'm really researching something (rather than just looking for quick info) I hope I'll remember to try the other search engines.

I probably haven't used the others enough to really judge them yet. Probably because I'm more used to Google, I feel like their "sponsored link" listings seem easier to ignore than those on Rollyo, Dogpile, and Mamma. And I like being able to ignore those if I want to.

And I always found the Ask.com layout to be very confusing in the past... couldn't tell which links were the articles vs. which were links to ads. My simple test search came up with the same main results on each. A more complicated search gave me a different set of results on each. Interesting. I'll try these others over the next few weeks when I need to search -- to get a better idea of what each has to offer.
