After Google, Yahoo and MSN which search engine deserves the 4th rank in popularity according to you.

Alta Vista... if that still exists!
Damn... this 80 character limit is a real pain in the balls.

@CountryBoy -
Yes, it seems like AltaVista is still alive! I'd recommend the same.

AltaVista

i will say ask.com, i use it quite often. also info.com. they offer results from many search engines.

Altavista is probably the fourth best, one that is catching up is scour.com , although i have never used it personally, its supposed to be quite good from what i hear, plus they pay you to search and stuff.

I really don't know and I really don't care, if I were to be completely honest with you in this.

I am using Google almost exclusively... sometimes I am using Yahoo to compare the search results... I don't use any kind of other search engine

ASK.COM in my opinion. ASK.COM is even better than MSN. Especially the blog Search of ASK.COM is really fabulous.

I will also agree with this, ASK is the 4th player , altavista is owned by Yahoo so they are almost the same thing

Same with me. Why I care? I rarely use Yahoo & MSN even. Big fan of Google.

Anyway, I used to like AltaVista long, long time ago.

ask.com is pretty sweet, but like a lot of people are saying, 4th best doesn't really matter when everyone is using google. lol

#13 03-20-2009, 05:24 PM

Ask.com... no doubts.... even i prefer ask.com after google and yahoo....

kenie · #14 09-24-2009, 01:38 AM

Either altavista or askjeeves.

Alexa is the best search engine, i give it 4th position.

versanigam · #16 10-23-2009, 08:14 AM

My 4th choice is
4.AOL
3.Yahoo
2.Bing
1.Google

dravenSt0rM · #17 08-10-2010, 12:13 AM

1. Google
2. Bing
3. Yahoo
4. Ask
5. AllTheWeb

I think bing is 4th best Search Engine.Bing is a search engine to find and organize the answers you need in order to make faster, more informed decisions.

Well there are many other search engines such as AOL, Altavista, Ask, etc. But I think the 4th search engine is Ask.com. You can recieve a decent amount of traffic from them.
