Voting Instructions & Form

To vote, use the drop-down boxes to pick up to three search engines that you think should be finalists in each category. If you only have one or two favorites, then just vote for them and leave the extra box or boxes unselected.

If you don’t see your choice or choices in the drop-down boxes, then use the write-in box to nominate them. Optionally, you can also offer comments as to why you like the services you’ve listed.

Remember, we’re looking for the best in 2004. Consider how your favorites have done over all of last year, rather than any developments in the past few weeks.

NOTE: If you are an employee of a search engine company, we ask that you not vote for yourself
