Searching for love in all the wrong places (And with google, no less)

There are literally dozens, nay, hundreds, of different search engines out there. There are many well-known first-party search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, and tons of lesser-known ones like Ask, dog pile and hot bot. Then there are the search engines that are hosted on a website, however most these are "powered" by the afore-mentioned first-party search engines. For this report, I will be covering Google, Yahoo, and the Dog Pile search engines.
The Google engine is clean and reliable, theres very little in the way of flash and pizzazz except at the home page in which the Google logo sometimes has a little bit of a makeover. This is the search engine that one wants when they don’t have time to mess around. When a search is made, it shows the site’s domain name in large, bold blue print with a small description of the page’s contents underneath. If there are other links or other main pages it will either list them in small blue hyperlinks or in a indented space that houses the original link. Advertising is kept to a minimum usually and the site looks that much better for it. Most of the advertisements (Known as "Sponsored results") are on the right side of the page and don’t usually get in the way of looking for an actual search result.
Next is Yahoo. Its main page, while it certainly has much more on it then Google’s minimalist approach, is still somewhat dreary with little colour other then the few pages that are underneath the search bar. The main page is choked with sponsored links and news, with alot of said "news" just being Tabloid-esque. A basic search turns up not only the search results, but also a bus-load of adverts, located at the top, right-hand side, and the bottom of the page.
Lastly, theres Dog Pile, which is instead of a stand-alone search engine, is actually a collection of multiple search engines, including Windows Live search, Google, Yahoo! Search, and Ask. The Main page is cheerful and bright while still not getting over-elaborate and usually features a group of dogs together. The search is similar to Googles, It collects searches from all of the selected engines (They can be shut off separately if need be) and profiles them on the page. When it finds a link that is shared among multiple engines it lists their names under the hyperlink and site description. On the right side is a small list of related searches that can be selected for a quick reappraisal of the current search.
Personally I find Google to be the best search engine, it gets the job done fast and it does it right, which is what counts. It lacks the multitude of adverts that Yahoo throws at you and is easier to navigate then dog pile.
