#1 Should've quoted one more 'graf:

Google routinely permits the unauthorized use of company names such as Exxon, Wal-Mart, Cargill and Microsoft in advocacy ads. An anti-war ad currently running on Google asks Keep Blackwater in Iraq? and links to an article titled Bastards at Blackwater Should Blackwater Security be held accountable for the deaths of its employees?

#4 I use Ask.com. It's ok. I sometimes have to fall back to Google.

#5 Same experience as WM. It is hard to believe how much better google can be on searches. But it's one of theose things where the more practice you get the better you are. So use ASK as much as you can. It's my default.

#6 I use Goodsearch, for a couple of reasons. First it is tied to Yahoo, and second, they donate a penny to the non-profit of your choice ( there is an extensive list from which to choose) for each search. this is not a scam; i have been in contact with one of the co-founders and she is a very educated and caring lady.

#7 Thanks WM and USN for the search references. I'll give them a try. I heard today that Al Gore made a fortune off of Google.
