    That's a really nice project cipher :).

    I default to google like most of you, but I think the "best" is probably http://dogpile.com/

    It takes the four biggies (google, yahoo, msn, and Ask) and averages them to give the best of all worlds. You can also view the results from any one given search engine independently.

    Sadly its only USA at present, which is not a bad thing but I do support two charities close to me in the UK.

    I tend to uses Clustering Search Engines these days, narrow down the junk and inline HJT logs that clutter your searching :)

    No probs cipher, I just like this way to search as you uses the left menus to narrow your parameters down.
