how do you search?

The main search engine I use is google.  I remember in 4th grade when my teacher first said, "i found this great website last night, its called gogle."  I think I use google the most because I have used it since I was so young.  Every now and then I will use Bing or Yahoo, but for the most part i stay with google.  I don't know if its the simplicity of typing in google, or just habit of immediately typing it into the browser.  The fact that google is a verb puts it higher on the food chain than any other search engine.  companies need to accept the genericide theme and accept the fact that Google is only going to expand.  The expansion of GMail and blogger and other resources makes Google the lead search engine even though actually searching for things on Google usually ends up in mostly adds.  The few times i do use Bing is usually when i get annoyed with Google or simply cant find the results i want.  The term "google it" has become a common term in the world and i cant see saying, "Bing it" over taking it.  Who knows, in twenty years if Google doesn't continue to transcend itself it may become obsolete.  They must stay on top of every form of technology and who's to say that they will be the first to discover every new form of technology. If Bing could win over all of the Microsoft users it might have a chance to cut into Google's market, but they have a long way to go.  I personally don't see myself changing any time soon.
