Google is the best.  (There was a nice article about how google is run on
many Linux boxes and is very decentralized.  If I can find the URL, I will
post it.  Or maybe one could use Google to find it...)  It is fast and
almost always gets what I want.  Google also caches images of the original
page so even if the site is down, I can always check the cached version of
the page.  I sometimes use the search tool Copernic 2000, which searches
across multiple search engines - including Google.  It's got a great price
too. ;-)
