I like using Google... Don't think of using any other search engine... By the way now I use Blackle blackle - black google As i read some where that bcoz of white screen of google search page, more power is used by monitors... so blackle is google itself but with black background... :rolleyes::rolleyes::):)
Who am I? Do you know me....:omg:
In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages. You can Check-- about blackle :)

I take google's word for it. I am a probable marketing victim on this one, but I really think that what google spits out is the best I can find. OTOH, I pretend as well to do what probably not everybody does: looking the search results sometimes until page 10. There are also interesting results on the 2nd+ pages.

Well it does returns the best of the results...but not always. At times I shift to Altavista's Advanced search where many a times I found better results with its Advanced Web Search www.altavista.com/web/adv[^] Though Google's +,~ etc. Operators work...but as said not always.

Google gives the result most of the time but if I feel that information returned by google is not enough then I use altavista.
Altavista - the former search top dog. How is it these days?

I use altavista mostly for Image and Mp3 search. Though it may not be best mp3 search engine, but it gives me what I am looking for.

As most of us 'google' now, does anybody do a secondary search using a different engine to see if any different results are shown or do you take google's word for it?

:confused: Now that is something I would really like a real scientific explanation for.

Every pixel illuminated means that some electrical energy is been turned into light energy.

I just use Google, MSDN (yeah, MSDN, because I often search developer stuff) and website's build-in search

Well, it should not be limited to CRT alone, I cant be sure about the LCD coz I did not study its working. Anyway, LCD would also consume energy to illuminate a pixel though quite less than CRTs, also not everyone uses LCDs.

LCDs use constant power if on. They shine a bright light behind the screen and then open or close pixels in the screen to block or transmit the light. This is why the black on an LCD is a shade of gray not a true black like a CRT.

I really like the image search offered by [www.live.com](http://by www.live.com)[^]. It's so cool! But I must admit that google's web search results are most of the time more relevant than the ones provided by the competition.

ahhh, thanks for the info. so it is the opposite in LCD, it would consume more power (still less compared to CRT) to block the blacklight to make the screen appear black.

I always used to search on google for api help like this "apiname msdn", this way it is faster and better than MSDN search on the api.

good tip! because even if google is faster I sometimes want to search on MSDN only and I'm too lazy and forgetful to type the special google syntax that will restrict my search on MSDN.... (whereas your tip is more simple than google site search syntax and I think it might do the trick)

I use google primarily, but often it returns allot of garbage when doing programming searches. Recently I have started to use a specialized google custom search engine SearchDotNet[^] . I get my programming results back with great ease and little frivolity. The engine only polls about 60 trusted sites(CP included). If your interested there is allot of information about the idea and site itself at the link. Want good answers fast, I highly recommend it. Aaron
