| 165735 | 2003-08-06 01:47:00 | Greetings from Wgtn on another fine crisp winters day. Anyway, has anyone come across a website which lists popular search engines that New Zealanders use and what percentage use them (ok I don't know how they would track this information, but that is what I would like). I have a list of the most popular search engines but not in any particular order, i.e. is XtraMSN the most popular (Xtra would like to think so). Thanks. |

| 165737 | 2003-08-06 02:31:00 | I use www.google.co.nz and if I am looking for NZ specific, I prefix my search with NZ (e.g. "NZ vineyards", "NZ News", etc.) | KiwiTT (4082) | ||
| 165738 | 2003-08-06 02:38:00 | I use www.searchnz.co.nz first for NZ sites then over to google nz for further searching. Allways found what I'm looking for NZ wise in these 2 sites. | Breezzee (2913) | ||

| 165740 | 2003-08-06 03:46:00 | When we use to run SearchNZ I'd benchmark it against Google. Google's NZ results are damn good and if you go to www.google.co.nz instead of .com they just have a simple radio button to enable NZ searches only. | Biggles (121) | ||

| 165743 | 2003-08-06 06:04:00 | Yeah google has ruled the roost since the demise of searchnow. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
