Same here, I think I've taken over a dozen flights, short and long distance in the last two years, and Hipmunk didn't find the best deal for any of the ones I tried. Old Expedia typically came up with the best price, and Kayak and FlightNetwork showed promise. Google Flights is one of my favorites because you can easily browse a calendar and see a graph to find the lowest prices (my dates are always flexible). Also, they have a map, so you can see the prices flying to any other nearby cities or airports to spot great deals you'd overlook. I've never booked through Google though, I just find the flights, then one of the above sites typically finds the same flight for $10 less, so I just go with them because I already have an account. Either way, no luck with Hipmunk, but maybe they work well for domestic US flights, since I have no experience there.
