Re:Poll: What search engine are you using? by Esus on Friday April 19, 2024 @11:53AM (#40088363)
Google the majority of the time because I know the search operators off the top of my head/automatically, but looking forward to when Perplexity can handle those with ease.

Still hard to beat something like: site:docs.google.com/spreadsheets "Labs" -doctors -knowledge

I also recall some book I read about Google where one of their early differentiators was speed/milliseconds, guessing the search engine race now in 2024 will happen the same way.

ps. An interesting one that's left off here is Tiktok, when watching most people in my age range, it's the first engine/place searched. (It's not strictly a search engine but I see it used as one.)

NOTA

Being a European I use European search engines.
