Is Google really the best search engine around?

PC World decided to find the best search engine  for various different types of searches.

In all, they tested 55 different services, across six categories: general (text info), video, mobile/local, news, images, and blogs.
They used ten keywords in each category and this was done over a 3 week period.

While Google was overall the best solution, Yahoo-owned AlltheWeb did out-perform it when it came to straight text searching!

 Alltheweb is not all that popular in India. Has an Alexa rank of 1651 in India.
 Around 2% of the total alltheweb users are from India.

 

Here are the results from the 6 categories of the search engine shoot-out:
