Search Engine Question

"Google" is the most often used search engine. Does this indicate that other
"general" search engines are inferior? Will other search engines provide me
with information that Google will not? I downloaded a search engine called
"Copernic" which incorporates a multitude of other search engines.
Copernic's concept is interesting but overwhelming. Should one choose a
search engine that one is comfortable with & ignore all the others?

Not at all.
As long as you rank well with the big 3 - google / yahoo / msn, then
you need not really worry about the smaller ones as they get their
feeds from them.

Will other search engines provide me with information that Google will not?

To a point, may be.
You can rank well in yahoo and msn, but not at all in google.
So with that in mind, you could have a web site that "googlers" will
not see.

I downloaded a search engine called "Copernic" which incorporates a multitude of other search engines.

I have never heard anyone download a search engine before.
Copernic is a desktop search tool, which is not the same as a search
engine as such.

Copernic's concept is interesting but overwhelming.

I cannot comment on that as I have never used it, nor have the need to
use it.

Should one choose a search engine that one is comfortable with & ignore all the others?

If I were you, just concentrate on the big 3, unless you have a niche
market, and there is a search engine made for that market.

No, you should understand what they do and a little of how they do it.
You can use normal English queries with Brainbox and Ask Jeeves, for
example. Vivisimo uses cluster technology and will give different
results as a consequence. Teoma will give results that indicate
largely how well a site is linked to by others of the genre. Copernic
is a meta engine which means it combines results from different
engines.

There's a webby version. You must try to keep up, Paul!

There well may be, but he said he downloaded it.
3 search engines are enough, and if I rank high in them (I do for most
of my keywords) then I don't need another fly-by-night one.

If in 20 years time that Copernic catches on, I may think about it.
