Natural Language
Ask passes the second grade test...

My daughter is in the second grade and she had this homework assignment. She had about five questions and the instructions were to use Google to find the answers. Guess what - Google failed the test.

Using a natural language query, Ask was the only search engine (Google and Yahoo tried first) to consistently return the correct answer on the first page.

If I had to rank them:
Ask
Yahoo
Google
Sorry to MSN, but I thought Ask might be better with this type of query.

Totally unscientific, but it worked for me.
