How do you find information online?

There are Lists of search engines.

But, which one(s) do you use and why?

Do you use just one search engine? Do you have one primary search engine and another one that you use only when your primary fails? May you use multiple engines depending on whether your search is on your desktop, mobile, or TV?

How do YOU choose?

    And one more point: it filters Google's results, making a decent job of producing relevant results, instead of producing tons of useless results that may or may not contain some of the terms for which you searched. This is the main reason I switched to startpage.
