Google, and since I became aware of them from their recent advertising campaign - Ask.com
It's good to have a choice and it's quite interesting to see what each one misses.

Google for me too, and I have it as my home page because it looks "clean" and uncluttered by ads and links all over the place.
Another good one that I've added to my Firefox drop-down list is http://www.ixquick.com/ which claims to be: Quote:

You're right. I've been using Yahoo for a long time and this has finally spurred me on to changing to Google which is much simpler. We sometimes need a kick to get us to change.
