Who all is fed up with the ridiculous results that search engines give? I was searching for car message boards and as well as other types and this site for the Cayman islands keeps popping up randomly on the 2nd or 3rd page!!!

Is there any decent one out there?

I use four search engines to guarantee that I didn’t miss anything. Google, Ilor, Aj, and Vivisimo. just apply www. and .com to each. They are all fantastic if you can’t find something using these four it ain’t out there.
