Search Engines

[Nate]

This one is a random thought that just occurred to me when I saw the reference to UrbanDictionary in the Slang thread. What search engines do you have in your Search List in Firefox (or whatever the equivalent thing is in IE7).

Mine are, in order:
Google (AU)
GoogleImage
Wikipedia
Dictionary.com
Thesaurus.com
Youtube
eBay
IMDb
Wayback Machine
Urban Dictionary

I simply have the GoogleToolbar, so I don't use the built-in search bar on FireFox much. If I used it more often I'd stick DeviantArt, E-Bay and Wikipedia on there, though.

I often search via the toolbar:
Google
Google Site Search
Google Images
Google Vids (including YouTube)
Dictionary.com

I don’t use the built‐in search bar, because it’s much easier to just use search keywords. I swap between computers a fair bit, but ones I use regularly that spring to mind:

Google (g)
Google News (n)
Wikipedia (w)
Wiktionary (wd)
Dictionary.com (d)
YouTube (y)
Wayback Machine (a)
The Oddworld Encyclopædia (t)
Urban Dictionary (u)
Google again, with the word ‘lyrics’ as an automatic search term (l)

I’m also very happy with the keywords I use for regular bookmarks. Some selected examples:

Google Mail (gm)
Oddworld Forums (o)
Google Reader (r)
My university account, called Portal (p)

I loooove Firefox.

I use goodsearch.com because using it helps charities and it's just a few clicks.

[Rex Tirano]

I have:

Google
Yahoo
Amazon.co.uk
Answers.com
Creative Commons
eBay
Rollyo
Wiki

But I've never edited it so it's just what came with my firefox. =/

Sure, Google is the most used and it contains a lot of informations, but I can find everything I find with Google also with Virgilio. I suggest you to visit it www.virgilio.it.

Unfortunately, most of us don't speak Italian that well...

*Slaps AlienMagi* Now go sit in a corner! And be quiet!!

I use Google, it's my start page. For any other references I go to Wikipedia.

Google and Wikipedia sleep together often and create wonderful delicious informative babies!
