If you are the experimental type and love locating facts and fiction, check out 11 search engines highlighted in PC Magazine: "11 Ways to Search without Google"
Okay, so Google holds 40%-50% of the market, and in combination with Yahoo and MSN, 90%. But remember who you are, an individualist, a maverick in the information world. Give Ms. Dewey, netTrekker, Technorati, or your personal favorite a test drive.

Beth, first, thank you for getting this rolling.
This is why I use google: simplicity and accuracy. I'm not sure there is another search engine that can give me accurate results in as simple a format that google presents. ChaCha.com seems great, but do I have time to personally chat with an on-line search engine employee? Who is that on the other end anyhow
Mark,
Good point! Knowing the source of your information is key in the information world. How authoritative, accurate, comprehensive, current, and objective is the source?
Like you, I go to Google if I think I can nail the needle in the haystack, e.g. Nikki Giovanni's funeral address at Virginia Tech. If I am looking for scholarly, published content; however, I start in a database.
