Personal experience from past 15 days , teoma is way better than google . only reason i used google extensively , koz it was integrated with opera , which is my main browser . i do searchs on varied topics and use google min of 20 searches a day . recently couldnt get my answers , tried teoma and voila , got lots more than i expected . almost like i found some hidden part of the net .
google has it advantages though . like showing a better phrase that can match what we are searching for " is this what u meant" and having 50 + pages displayed on on page .
teoma is really good in tracking exact phrases , eg error messages on computers . it give pages from message boards and forums too . teoma still needs to work a bit more . but people should be stuck with google alone . we should look beyond google , it doesnt have the answer for everything it seems
