Google Searching

[Csargo]

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

[Somebody Else]

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.

[doc_bean]

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

[TevashSzat]

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

I'll go 10-20 pages if I'm serious about the search and am not happy with the first several pages. If I get too much junk or unexpected, unrelated results, I'll alter my search criteria and try again to remove the chaff.

I try to limit my search by being very specific, so my result won't get more than 5-10 pages.

Me too, only I won't go beyond 5 pages without re-phrasing my terms - except if I seek an image; then 20 pages = OK.

I quit when I find the one that matches my opinion
