I have been using Google now for ages and always assumed that it was unbeatable but I have just come across www.teoma.com which returns many more results on very obscure subjects.

What other search engines do folks use?

Cheers

Mamma (mother of all search engines) (http://www.mamma.com/)

actually a meta-search engine as it dispatches the search to many search engines (including Google)

Try copernic (http://www.copernic.com/en/index.html) also combines many other search engines for consolidated result. "Basic" version free.

Quite right to try these other things. Google often takes up to one second for a couple of million matches. Those search engines which search everything including Google couldn't help but be faster. :rolleyes:

Google first, daylight second and third.....
