I did the search for "Pocket PC" too and had PPCT come up as number #4. I guess these guys made the claim of #2 since you can't really count the two offcial Microsoft links since that is expected. So after PPC Mag, #2 it is. Hey, even #4 is nothing to scoff at.

While google is still the better search engine, it's good that we have alternative seach engine. I hope it will have something similar to froogle though.

This is completely different than what I saw last night - in the version I saw, the paid results were in the same column as the search results, not off to the side a-la-Google. Strange! Now I see we're #4.

For web searches, it seems for the most part complete and fast, but misses alot of content that Google gets. What I like alot about Google is the newsgroup search including the archives that go back for years. I can see some of my postings from a decade ago!

Google owns; I can search newsgroups. the web and look for images at the same time, I always think competition is good, but Google seems to give the best results out of any search engine, except for audio/video.
