I'd be fine, seeing as I don't use google all that often.

I'd be very very lost and confused.

Very.

*Hates pretty much all of the search engines that aren't Google*

If there was no google, I'd probably use some other search site instead.


Same..

But.. but.. Google = easy for my brain. :(

I'd probably have to ask others for an easy search engine..

Before I used a multitude of search engines- mainly Ask Jeevers, Search.com, and Dogpile.

I don't use Google very often. Yahoo is usually the first site I bring up when I need to search for something.

I was just a wee one when Google came about.
We used Altavista, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, etc.
*reminisces*

Wouldn't affect me much. I'm more of a "Yahoo!" person myself. :)

I prefer it over Google because it has a better sports section (for one, it has many sports-related columns by people from SportingNews, Sports Illustrated, etc.). I just kept going back for the sports section and eventually decided to rely on Yahoo for searches.

I used to use a bunch of search engines (37 especially, dunno why, but also Altavista, Excite, and Yahoo among others) before going to Google, which I found out about at my elementary school.

Sure I use Google now, it's just a nice help, not something I heavily rely on. Could do without it.

Google may currently be the best, but it still sucks. Google is filled with the same scum other search engines are filled with nowadays.

I'd live. In the days before google, I used altavista and got along quite nicely. :P

Tue Oct 12, 2004 3:03 pm

I would lose a word of my vocabulary. (When someone asks me a question and I have no idea, I just tell them to Google it. =P)

Other than that, I'd migrate to Yahoo and pout a bit, but live.

Meh, I'd be annoyed if I couldn't use Google, but I'd find another search engine to use. Google just happens to be convenient. :)

Tue Oct 12, 2004 8:25 pm

I would be really ticked off if I didn't have Google, Google is the best search engine, because it dosent show up bad things when you try to search for things, and plus it has a content filtering choice - none, medium (deflualt) or large, I put it on large, it filters exploit text and pictures! :)

I wouldn't be happy, but I'd cope.

I use Google every day, mainly because its much more convenient than other search engines, its much easier to find what you are looking for, and it has a more smooth "flow" than the others do. I've used sites like Dogpile and Ask Jeeves, and I never get anything I'm looking for. Seeing as Yahoo is more like Google than the others, I would probably switch to Yahoo (though I HATE Yahoo...).

Tue Oct 12, 2004 8:51 pm

As much as I don't like the other sites, I would use them.
