| | Anyone else use this serach engine? It has a good image and video search, but alot of the results are similar to google's. I used to use this alot last year when i needed images for school projects. |

That's cool to hear, but I still prefer google's search engine over the other's.
previously i used to use this search engine but google is better than other search engines.
I've never really used it, google does me since I never really look up pictures or videos. Google's the best for text searching if you ask me.
I have google as my home page (well part of it). I only use Altavista when I need to find a picture/audio file that I can't find on Google.
I use their Translation site at This page, but that is about the only thing that I use them for, I would rather use yahoo, or google. They both have the image search ability.
But, that is just my $0.02, Tell us the reasons that you use it? Is it just because of the Image and video searches, or what, you tell us.... -William
okay, im sorry to say this, but im a striict yahoo! user. I refuse to use any other search engine including google. Go Yahoo! I have started an organization against google *points to siggy* which has one member ::guess who:: and is trying to make yahoo number one! okay, sorry, i understand that this is an alta vista board but i think that you get so much more out of yahoo when you do se4arches there. come on now, i dont understand why google is so popular when yahoo is so much more satisfying with your results. I'm sure alta vista gets you from point A to point B but sometimes it isnt enough and you need spinners on those wheels if you dont wanna get jumped. WoW, BAD metaphor. PLEASE consider switching to yahoo! its for the better!

I also like the video search option, I find it useful at times. QUOTE (wykked_dreamz @ Jul 11 2005, 12:04 AM) okay, im sorry to say this, but im a striict yahoo! user.

Before...yahoo gets its result to google but now yahoo has its own data storage to deliver informations. I think they're just a plain rival in search engine work. Can you supply some information that proves "yahoo is just a front of google"? Im just curious about this. |
