Google has a version customized for India. Google India

Google also has a site called Froogle. You can search for a product in all the shopping sites along with their prices. But it is more useful if you are in USA.

Reviving a very old thread. Finally Altavista (which started in 1995) will be closing down on July 8th this week, as announced by Yahoo. At its time, Altavista was the best search engine. Check its history here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltaVista

I've stopped using google due to tracking and privacy concerns. I use duckduckgo now both on my phone and on my laptop. The search results are as good as google, if not better. Google tracks and collects way too much data, and I don't think I'll be going back to it.
