GaNi

Google.com doesn't seem to respond, nor does the mail.

Google.com has many servers in many locations.

If Google went down there would be more important things to worry about (i.e. Nuclear Winter, Zombies, etc.). Not to mention our economy would probably crash.

Lycos, Altavista, hotbot etc! (Oh, the ol' good days :-P)

Ha! I'd never realized they had a recursive acronym...though I suspect it's unattended.

I use Bing for 100% of my web searches, only because of Bing Rewards. So far I've gotten $100 in Amazon gift card. And the moment Microsoft stops handing them out, I'll go right back to Google.

Don't know about that. No one can contend with Google's search index, server farms, or algorithms.

But why wouldn't you want to get Gift Cards for just performing web searches?
