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?

For search I had used DuckDuckGo a long time, but about a month ago I started the trial with Kagi Search [kagi.com]. It seems that I do not search that often, as I still have close to half of the 100 free searches left. It is a payed service, but the search results are much better. I even found a bug report which helped me to solve the problem I had searched before with the error message and DDG did not show it (the report was older then my previous search). So for me the Starter subscription will be worth it. I had hints for it a while ago, but then the recent posting Tim Bray: ‘Mourning Google’ [daringfireball.net] from John Gruber pushed me in trying it. Also their blog posting The Age of PageRank is Over [manifesto] [kagi.com] helped.
What I also like about Kagi is their open communication, like a public Changelog [kagi.com]. When I looked into the details of the Automatic Kagi Status Page Updates #2914 [kagifeedback.org] entry, I also spotted comments from vlad the founder and CEO of Kagi. Also the changelog and status site have RSS feeds available.
