Google is supreme in search engine. Upto now no one can beat it, Yahoo! is using the search with the help of Bing. I must say that Baidu of china is more innovative, but it is chinese. The list of search engines can be given in rank wise
Google >Baidu>Yahoo>bing>msn.

I have been using Google for years. After I had started using Linux Mint, I used Yahoo for like a month, as it was the default browser there. Not sure whether it was the fact that I was so used to Google but I just did not like it. I did not like the overall layout, coloristics and had a feeling that the choice of results is far smaller than the served by Google.
Although I would rather not use Google for the privacy issues, it is simple the only choice. Google Images, integration with Drive (which I use extensively for work and university), ease of use makes it my choice.
When it comes to Bing, I think I used it a few times, like to search for Firefox on a fresh Windows installation or back in school times, when Internet Explorer & Bing (or its predecessor) were the only choice : )
I would love to use DuckDuckGo, but as my native language is Polish, I need the search engine to work in this language as well as it does in English. And because DuckDuckGo is not yet so popular in Poland and the search database (or how to call it) is not too big yet, the search results are not as satisfactory as they are when using Google. Thus, Google vs rest of the world - 3:0.
By the way, what was the original name of Bing? Was it developed by Microsoft or it was some other engine acquired by the company?

It's pretty much just Google these days, probably mostly from inertia. I've used Duck Duck Go a couple of times. Tried Bing, was not exactly swept off my feet. Yahoo, why bother?
The first two I ever used years ago were dogpile(a name, at least, that's still hard to beat) and Web Crawler. Ages ago I worked briefly in a marketing department at a publishing company and we used Lycos and AltaVista. dogpile was my favorite back then. Google could have been no more than in it's infancy.

Undoubtedly Google is my favorite due to it's huge database and super-fast data-centers. I consider others to be updated with the industry.

I always focus on google, yahoo and bing. But Google is more popular than other search engines that's why I like google than others.

Microsoft continues to try to get people to use its Bing search engine. I took their challenge and found that I liked Google MUCH better. However, I wouldn't underestimate Microsoft. Just recently, they convinced Apple to dump Google in favor of Bing for Spotlight.

I really think there is a chance for a serious competitor to enter the fray as I find ALL of the search engines terrible. When I search on topics there is just too much junk in the top results. The kind that obviously earns Google big bucks. Google is the better of the lot, but there is definitely room for lots of improvement.

I'm sure Google is evil, but for me there is no serious competitor right now. It's easy and fast. Far from perfect, but may be as good as it can get for a while.

Before it's Google but now no choice is Baidu. You can only open its translation part in most of time. Yahoo give you search result too local.

Google all the way. Have you guys used their advance search feature? And scholar.google.com? Both works greatly for academic research :)

You can search yahoo and google with one search engine that is dogpile.com. For technical terms I use webopedia.

I miss Ask.com as it used to be years ago! It used to give you all sorts of suggestions, as if you'd indeed asked a question, felt more "human" than the rest of them.
So now it's Google.

I would say Google, because its the most reliable one and has very big database of websites that we can search for. Yahoo is the second big one.
BTW Mozilla will have Yahoo Search by default.
