PC World decided to find the best search engine for various different types of searches.

In all, they tested 55 different services, across six categories, using ten keywords over a 3 week period.

Interesting data. I haven’t used some of those engines in quite some time.

BTW…The Local Search Link leads to a white screen when I click it.

Same with image search and blog search. Those pages seem to be down.
