I was just wondering what search engine the JL community uses. I know many (if not most) use Google, but does anyone use Metacrawler, Yahoo, or any of the others?

3 things:
1. I thought you could only have 10 options in a poll. There are 11 there.
2. Nice idea to add the JL search option. Thanks to whoever did.
3. WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THE WOMBATS??? Someone must have hacked the thing... again. Remember the time when there was about 200,000 or some other insane number of votes in one poll for one option? Doubt I'll ever post another poll again...

Google is a great search engine for finding Error 404 pages.

In order of use;
[list=1]
Google
Google For Linux
JustLinux search
[/list=1]
In order of importance;
[list=1]
JustLinux search
Google For Linux
Google
[/list=1]
In other words, most of my casual searches start with Google, but most of my serious questions get answered by JL or G4L.
BTW, who else remembers Infoseek?

(I don't think I've had issues with 404'ed pages being listed in their index more than ten or fifteen times, actually, in the last few years of searching... of course, that's anecdotal evidence, so feel free to ignore it ;)).

Google all the time.
I use JL search feature too, sometimes. It's very helpful.

:confused:
OK, now I'm all confused. What are you searching for that's coming back with a 404 page? If I see what you're talking about, that will no doubt help clear the numerous cobwebs that are obviously addling my higher brain functions... :p

See cache for first link. Obviously I had to use some reverse searching to find this, but you get the idea.
