There is one website that has more websites in its search engine than google, I think its allyourweb.com or alltheweb.com
 
I really don't know what I would do without Google! Google doesn't have any serious contenders, but the closest would be alltheweb.com, as mentioned by Zero. It's my second favorite, although their search never seems to be quite as accurate, and they have about 300 million fewer pages than Google in their index.
 
I heard on WTOP radio in Washington that alltheweb had something like 2.2 BILLION websites in its search engine and google had a few hundred thousand less or so i dont really know but google does rule.

Really? That must have been an old show...alltheweb searches 2.1 billion and Google about 2.4 billion (judging by their home pages).
 
i had my numbers wrong jordan, it was somewhere in the ballpark of 2.1-2.2 billion acording to WTOP (which is a news radio station in the DC area)
 
The nice thing about Google is that it caches a copy of everything, too. That means if the server is down at the site you're looking for, or if it doesn't exist anymore, you can at least get to some of the older information.

Oh, I love the cache! Many times, I'll just look at the cache first, because Google's cached pages often load faster and already have the search terms highlighted (great for picking out specific information in long articles). :)
 
why might astalavista.com be blocked by my ISP?
I always use Google (it's much larger than alltheweb). If it's down, I go to http://www.altavista.com. And if that's down, I'll go to alltheweb. And finally, if they're all down, I'll use the search Bar I got with My Comet Cursor program.

If Google's down? I don't think I have ever found Google to be down in the past 3 years I've used it (I don't see how it could be, either, with their insane number of servers.).

Google is definitely the best. AOL's search engine has gotten a lot better, but google still rules all.
