As a webmaster and an SEO professional, I think MSN is the best among the three. It updates its index on a regular basis, and you can see any tweaking of your website in a matter of days. If you're SEO-savvy, you know that getting that top spot on MSN will only take a few weeks, rather than the endless months you have to put up with Google.

It's just a shame MSN doesn't have that much market share. Getting the top spot there doesn't translate into the upsurge in traffic you'd expect from Google. :roll:

Better search engine?

When you say search engine I suppose that you mean :what is better search engine from the surfers point of view!
What is the most efficient search engine ( fast , bring you the sites you want...)!

Well , if you put it like that - it's Google!

From the webmaster point of view - it really depends on the education of webmaster .
Some are better on Google , some on Yahoo ....

I prefer Google.

I like google for the relevancy of the search results and not only that the results are relevant on the first few pages only they extend good results to as many pages as possible . It is quite faster than others , this is also what i like . Plus I have also seen that google searches almost every term and has results but with other search engines sometimes i have found no or very few results for some of my searches . Google is unique in that it includes files in a wide variety of formats in its regular index, not only traditional webpages, including Microsoft Office files and Acrobat PDF. All these factors combined make it much more powerful as a search engine .
