    Default Google Searching

    I'm sure many of you search for something on Google, often no doubt. Now, many use Google like an encyclopedia, taking the first page of info, maybe the first five.
    Others no doubt go into the dark depths of Google, beyond the haloed 10-page mark, farther into the crevasse, past the 25, 50, 75. Deep into the dark pits of information.

    Which one do you go by? Convenience? Search for Truth? How do you search Google?

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    I usually use the first 10 or so links, however if I am looking for something specific then I will go as far as I need to.

    Depends on what I'm searching for. Sometimes the first couple of links. Sometimes 10-20 pages.

    If what I'm looking for doesn't appear in the first or second page, I've obviously tried the wrong search, and so I rephrase my question.
    Don't have any aspirations - they're doomed to fail.

    Depends on what i'm searching for and what I'm getting back (ambiguous terms). I'll rather tried to refine my search than to look through all the pages. Though I have, on occasion, found some good things on page 5 or so.

    One things that's annoying is that Google isn't case sensitive, very annoying when looking for specific abbreviations

    I remember that there is another site called dogpile or something like that which compiles all of the major search engines into one, google, yahoo, msn, ect... That I suppose should be better for searching than any of the individual search engines
