+188 The amount of loyalty people have to google.com is something quite special. They aren't a paid service, and plenty of other free websites do the exact same thing, yet they have people mysteriously hooked, amirite?

It's the same reason people are hooked to Apple products, because of trust in the brand name, even though there are probably other products/services that do it better.

It's not particularly surprising. For a long time, and in my opinion still, they're the best search engine. Bing is worthless and I never had luck with Yahoo either. I think it's mostly just that they're supplying a superior service and that's where the loyalty comes from.

Agreed, people use google because it works well. You can typically find what you're looking for quickly, and it's got a good layout. Bing's first few links are ads, and Yahoo's system sucks. Google is reliable. I wouldn't say it's the same as apple, because apple is expensive and doesn't always preform as well as it's competetors. The worst Google does is make you look at some ads.
