I like Google for most things, especially the page-rank thing, even though the page rank results can sometimes be a little weird eg: my site, tinfoil.music consistantly out-ranks the BBC music site as well as MTV and Rolling Stone magazine. While I think my site is pretty darn good, it's certainly not BBC level writing heh. Altavista has just upgraded their search software though, so expect that to make some waves soon as well.
