I've used Google even before it was a household name .. i just like their 
lack of crap on the front page and with specific enough searches I generally 
get what I need.  They were also the first to offer graphics, newsgroups, 
news, etc as part of the search.

Something else to note, we're not paying for Google, Yahoo, or any of these, 
so they can do what they want.  I don't care what their political agendas 
are, if my searches come up with what I need, I'll use it -- and Google 
still suits me for that.
