There are many search engines available on the Internet and it depends on what you are looking for to determine if they give better results than Google. If you are looking for local results then it isn’t normally beneficial to go to Google to find the information you are looking for. There are many “vertical” sites coming online daily to assist with the needs of the local market.
MSN will give you different search results from Google as will Yahoo, Ask, Looksmart and depending on what you are looking for you can even go to Wikipedia to find more detailed information. If you are looking for local information, Yahoo will normally give you better results than Google. There is a new company that is working on the local market and that is wearenetwork. They have information on quite a few Canadian cities and a couple of US cities so far. I have found them to be helpful to me, also some property management sites are also improving their local search to assist the community, one of those is Mark-Taylor, which is based out of Phoenix, Arizona. More and more search engines are coming online to benefit the need of the local search community. If you are vigilant you can find them and maybe even find one for your city.
If you limit yourself to Google there will be websites you won’t find so if you don’t find the information you are looking for there then try one of the other search engines, but if you are looking local try and find something for your area.
