Not when you frame it like that.
But I always google when I need to buy something.
And when I search for anything non-commercial, I use a private search engine.
Google is good for search results which generate money, e.g. when you intend to buy things.
- JohnFen 3y ago> Google is good for search results which generate money, e.g. when you intend to buy things. I think how true that is depends on where you want to buy from. Google is good at referring you to certain other websites to buy from. If you're looking for broader search results than that, it's not really any better than for other sorts of searches (at least, that's how it was a couple of years ago).
