What to use instead of Google

I am dissatisfied with Google and want to change

[markis00]

I am wondering, now that Google has completely scrued over SEO'ers, what is the second best engine to Google? And how can I optimize for it (best in terms of traffic)?

I want to throw my vote in for Gigablast. It has a nice clean format and surprisingly good results.

Hi jmccormac

I've worked with all that you listed, do you run a search engine if so what it's URL :)

Yes I like Gigablast

I tried Gigablast and most of the results were from germany. (I'm in the U.S.)

My vote.. since I love pictures.. AV image search is the very best so far.
for every day searches.. I'm stuck between AV and google right now. Using Av more and more.
