I'll add a vote of support for Yandex. It usually has good results, though it really depends on what you are searching for. I did some test queries asking random linux questions and the link containing the solution was usually higher in the list on Yandex when compared to Google. Comparing local shopping prices in the US, use Google instead... Based on my web server logs, the bots which check the most often are: 1. Baidu 2. MJ12 3. Gootkit auto-rooter 4. Bing 5. Yandex 6. Yobao 7. Google 8. ZmEu 3 and 8 are bots trying exploits, 2 is not a search engine, 1 and 6 are not available in English, 4 is Microsoft, and 7 is excluded for the present conversation. So, Yandex seems a good choice. In fact, the only remaining choice. :) BTW, the Baidu spider hits my site more than all of the others combined...
