Comments on: Study: Google's search lead not matched by loyalty

Google is more widely used than rival search engines--but only one in five people use it exclusively, a Forrester study reports.

Its good to see that lots of people recognize that Google is not the be all end all of search engines. I too have found the many other search engines offer better results in certain topics. This gives me hope that humanity is once again thinking for themselves, rather than playing follow the leader in this regard.

Well, this is kinda no brainer. You can quit google search at any time because you are not hooked. I wish humanity will think further than it's noose when making strategic decisions. With this regard collective thinking still remains as rudimentary as the caterpillars nerve system: you touch it from one side and it will bend it that direction. Think of choosing Microsoft Windows in '93 or borrowing money in '07.

My mother-in-law uses both Google and Yahoo.

I watched in stunned amazement as her homepage came up with Yahoo and she then proceeded to type the word google into the search box.

Hence why niche and industry-specific search engines may be the only davids to stand against Googliath.
