Yeah, I keep Google Search at my fingertips but I use Edge Browser and a new tab will pop up a Bing search box so I use Bing the most. Most searches any engine will do. I wanted to know the speed of sound today so I popped open a new tab and typed in speed of soun...before I could even finish the phrase it auto offered just what I wanted. I clicked and the first entry was a calculator for the speed of sound as a function of temperature (in Earth's atmosphere). Like I said most search engines will do what I need except when none of them will. Google has better odds for the hard searches. If I search for "ultimate tensile strength of al 2195 at liquid hydrogen temperature" Bing bombs and Google nails it.

Not only that but the first page of results and on the first page of results I select takes me to the research I need and it asks me to substantiate my credentials. It searches for research using my name and finds three paper I co-authored.
