I use Google dozens of times a day. While it certainly hasn't indexed the entire web, I can almost always find the page I need here. This is probably the single most useful site on the Internet today. Google groups is my top resource for debugging software and gaining from the experience of folks who've already done whatever I'm currently trying to do. There's Google Answers if you're so desparate for info that you're willing to pay for it. And the Google toolbar, Windows IE only :(, is a simple and powerful tool for gleaning factoids.
I would highly suggest reading the Google help page for learning how to take advantage of Google search syntax. With time you'll find this is your most valuable page on the Internet as well.
