I'll add a vote of support for Yandex. It usually has good results, |
| 18 |
though it really depends on what you are searching for. I did some |
| 19 |
test queries asking random linux questions and the link containing the |
| 20 |
solution was usually higher in the list on Yandex when compared to |
| 21 |
Google. Comparing local shopping prices in the US, use Google |
| 22 |
instead... |

Based on my web server logs, the bots which check the most often are: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
1. Baidu |
| 27 |
2. MJ12 |
| 28 |
3. Gootkit auto-rooter |
| 29 |
4. Bing |
| 30 |
5. Yandex |
| 31 |
6. Yobao |
| 32 |
7. Google |
| 33 |
8. ZmEu |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
3 and 8 are bots trying exploits, 2 is not a search engine, 1 and 6 |
| 36 |
are not available in English, 4 is Microsoft, and 7 is excluded for |
| 37 |
the present conversation. So, Yandex seems a good choice. In fact, the |
| 38 |
only remaining choice. :) |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
BTW, the Baidu spider hits my site more than all of the others combined... |
