I use Google as my only search engine. For financial info, I favor Yahoo Finance because I find its response snappier. For news, I prefer Google News.
Aside: I switched to Chrome (from IE) a couple of years back and now use it exclusively.

I always use Bing to perform a Web Search. I avoid that other word like the plague that it is.

Sydney Morning Herald, Aug. 29, "Google drones tested in Queensland:" by Cameron Atfield:[^]:
"Google X director Astro Teller said Project Wing's goal was ultimately to build a system for delivering small and medium sized packages within minutes to anyone, using self-flying vehicles."
Clearly in a drug-induced manic episode, Astro rushed on to this stunning non-sequitur: "There's no reason we should all have a power drill in our garage when, at any one time, the world is using one hundredth of a per cent of its power drills," he said from the company's headquarters in California."
p.s. I had never heard of "Cherry Ripes" before coming across this story, and I can't explain why the names "Astro Teller," and "Cherry Ripes" suggest something pronish that I would not want to hear about, let alone see.

Well, it's obvious that he meant that Google should own all the power drills, and that we should pay them and look at lots of advertising if we want to use one.

I had to look it up (I'm sick of using the word "Google"*), too. You'd think that an international company would know to use internationally recognisable items.

"Perhaps Queen Mary welcomes American leader to wind around support for determining vector space?"(6,7)
Quite hard for a Friday, but not beyond you.
I am off next week so I may be rather hit and miss on these, I will see what I can do.

I do not get how you combine LINER and A (not even talking about how you get the values in the first place  )

It's the "welcomes" part me thinks.
LINER welcomes A -> LAINER, nope! LIANER, no. LINAER, naw! LINEAR, yeah!
"welcomes" is an indicator that that the welcomed part will be integrated into the word.
Cheers!

OK...
Perhaps Queen Mary LINER
The Queen Mary was a luxurious ocean going liner[^] (before she became a floating hotel in California) - I used to work for someone who drove her!
welcomes American leader A
"American leader" - leader implies first letter, so "A"
"Welcomes" means "insert this into that", so "LINER" welcomes "A" becomes:
LAINER
LIANER
LINAER
LINEAR Only one of these is a word.
to wind around GALE -> ALGE
"Wind" == "GALE", "around" means "anagram": "ALGE"
support BRA Any question involving Lady Bumps will get my attention!
