There is a popular expression "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!" This does not mean he is the best leader or person for the job, it means he has an advantage over the sightless as he has one eye! The same could be said for Google. They had the advantage, because in the beginning they had no real rivals. However, while other engines have improved they have been left behind. They may have added a few gimmicks, but the actual search has not improved, infact it has just got worse.

Enough said. We'll now show you that there is a diverse range of search engines to choose from, so don't let one search engine dominate the web - variety is the spice of life!
