Basically, just post what your favorite or least favorite (or both) search engine(s) are.



My favorite would have to be Google, and my least favorite would be Ask Jeeves. U?

Ask Jeeves. Wow I haven't used that in such a long time. But my favorite is Google. Least favorite is everything else because I've gotten used to Google.

It's so retarded, and not even relevant sometimes to what's being installed. I usually do custom installation, instead of typical or easy, because of "extras" being installed.

It added a toolbar for me, I couldn't remove it.

I've used the i'm feeling lucky option only 1% of all my searches ever. I just forget it exists.

"1. open firefox, type in "about:config" in the keyword box (where you usually type you web addresses).
2. Type in "keyword.url" at the top where it says "filter"
3. right click on the URL and select "modify"
4. copy and paste: http://www.google.com/search?q="

I did something different when I had the problem though.

I remember when I first installed Crysis, it tried to install a bunch of unrelated bloatware along with it.
