i usually use yahoo but google now owns that.
personally google is the search engine of choice now,
microsoft are bringing out their own new search engine which may be as good as google but i'm doubtful

From what I know, Google has better usability than other search engines, and displays more relevant and extensive search results than other engines (except for in images maybe, as you guys pointed out).
I'm an average user so personally I can't tell much of a difference, but most experienced software analysts seem to agree. Still, I wouldn't say yahoo is "abyssmal" by comparison (it's pretty good to me) so if people really want to switch from google than sure, there are options.
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
