   I've been using Google as a verb for several years. I haven't used any other search engine since 1998.

   Even if you were to use another site to search, like AOL or Yahoo!; both of these are powered by Google. Google certainly has the monopoly in the search engine industry. As for calling searching "Googling", I must agree with Julio and say that I have never heard anyone call it this before, besides Tarkus here ;) !

   I think this is just another one of M$ business crap where they are trying to gain a bigger market share in a newer area, as if they don't have enough right now anyway :confused:

   [quote][i]Originally posted by ---agissi--- [/i][b]yahoo does too use google! but i stick 2 yahoo :D [/b][/quote] Yahoo uses the HotBot engine.. It has for a long time and still does, much like Excite and a number of other engines.Personally, if it isn't Google... I don't bother. I get more, better results with Google for any search I do.

   Yahoo uses Google engine indeed, though I believe they will be migrating to something else soon. Hotbot doesn't use anything in-house, they share results with Google, Inktomi and some others.

   Well it seems we are all at a little disagreement here. I personally don't know which one it uses, but I think it is funny to see everyone correct the next ;)

    Web searches have been called googling for like 3 years. Everyone who logs into mud.legendmud.org port 9999 on telnet would be able to tell you that. It may be a techie thing, but anytime anyone says something about internet search, at least among people I know, they refer to it as googling it. The address above is a MUD, multi user dungeon. Just wanted to say that it is a known term, depending on your circle.
