Search wars are about to get personal

Reason why:: Yeah, people will use different search engines - they provide different mixes of results. Often, one engine will get better results than another. Sometimes, it's difficult to put what I'm looking for in the form of keywords, and the search engine will give me a lot of garbage to wade through before I find what I'm looking for.

My biggest problem is with mirror sites - I'll have to wade through dozens of search results which are nothing but mirrors of the same site!!

Different engines give different results - most people will try other engines if the first one doesn't give the results they're looking for.; Posted by: CobraA1 Posted on: 02/17/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
