Project 15 Search Engines

There is such an abundance of search engines, that no one really knows them all. One of the most common is Google. I did some research and found that Google is not the only great one out there.

Site 1. Wolframalapha - This is my first time every using this website, but as soon as it loaded through I was impressed. Immediately I noticed how you could personalize the background color of the website which I thought was really cool. You are able to upload images and or files straight into the search bar which is very useful. I also noticed that at the bottom of the website there are a huge number of links, which are actually examples of questions. So finding the information you need can be found very quick.

Site 2. Bing - This is a website that can be compared mostly with google. This search engine is used for more commonly asked questions or for things you need to find out fast. Once you ask a question or search something this site will bring up many choices that are related to what your asking.

Site 3. Yahoo - Once you load onto the yahoo home screen you are bombarded with information. This site is loaded with weather, news, entertainment and much more. It is a very useful site to use if your trying to stay connected with the rest of civilization.

Site 4. Ask - Most websites have a "launch" or "go" button once you type in what your looking for. But ask.com states simply "Find Answers," this small detail alone tells you what type of website this is. It is manly used to ask questions about anything.

Site 5. Web M.D. - This search engine is used mainly for questions about anything medical. There are also health tips and cooking tips located throughout the site, to help people find all of there health ideas in one place.

Site 6. AOL - This is a very easy to navigate and easy to use simple search engine. Not to much clouding up the screen and very helpful information can be displayed here.

Site 7. Dogpile - This website produces many top stories being searched right now, so you can search very quickly for up to date material. Also a very family friendly home screen with a dog, allows kids to even use the website. Without their parents worrying that their kids will read something for adults only.

Site 8. Blekko - This website has a very simple home screen with a few pictures. These pictures correlate to what is being talked about at the time in society. Very easy to use and very helpful website.
