Hullo all, In the general opinion of the group , which is the most effective
search engine for ee related stuff ?- I am looking particularly for anyrhing
non mainstream , that is dedicated to EE/Programming .

Whenever I need anything , first port of call is Google ( bless em' ) .
Ussually I can get a good site in the first page of results - even with
badly worded searches of obscurities , I have gotten to the precise
companies / sites in amazing time. But I have exhausted the better Pic
results (with optimised searches ) and there are too many er distracting
hits with Pics in general . So , I am looking mainly for homepages of
hobbyist stuff - schematics , code and stuff - and need my next fix .

Any suggestions for anything EE/Programming ? I haven't really tried the
other general engines . Also on the subject of google , any ideas on how
they make the $s ? It is one site that I look out for any ads , but I can't
seem to remember seeing any . Yahoo's directory is starting to (and Yahoo in
general //geocities//webring etc ) has been sucking for quite some time .
Others have too much load time for a 56k - read 44kbps - in this part of
Africa , and then they give me commercial sites with huge graphics on the
results page . So I haven't really tried them - or even looked - when I got
google .

So in all , Googles fast , lean , effective . But a little on the side might
just give me a lttle more ..
