Old Habits
i can’t say that i find the results of google search any better than, say, MS Live search, but i keep using google. why?
laziness, familiarity, ease. i don’t go to search engine pages. i do however frequently use the search box in the upper right hand corner of Firefox and that doesn’t have Live. and while live is far more attractive and less distracting to look at, there is less friction getting to google for me. and while i’m sure that i could shoehorn in a live search, let’s face it – MS made Internet Explorer – the bane of my front-end development existence for years. They might be different teams and initiative at MS, but mentally i tie the two together.
