Project 15: Search engines

Search engines:

1. http://www.wolframalpha.com/   This website allows you to search in different ways. You can input an image, data and files. It always gives you a button to be given an examples of many different subjects, for example you can get example and a step-by-step instructions. I think this search engine could be useful for just about anything, including homework. I think I would actually use this search engine in the future.

2. http://www.bing.com/ This search engine would be good for certain information, something specific. You simply ask a question. This will simply give you another website to use for the information you seek. I have used this search engine a few times and I like it for the most part, it is like using Google.

3. http://www.ask.com/  Their website has more then simply a search bar. They have questions of the day and several of them for a few days back. You simply ask a question as you would on bing, but you might have to scroll awhile to find what is was you were looking for.  I have used this website before and I have not liked it. It is a step or so behind Google and Bing.

4.https://www.yahoo.com/  This website is so similar to Google, it is kind of scary. You can have an email account and other things. When you search you can look for information or pictures. I actually used this website for years before I started using Google, and still use it sometimes.

5.http://www.chacha.com/  This website has tabs for many different things. You can search certain topics. You can also connect to Facebook, twitter, Google +, Tumblr. You would not use this as something for homework, but simply as for entertainment. I don't think I would use this at all. I would use Google for all the questions this ask, however, it is efficient.

6. https://duckduckgo.com/   They advertise that this search engine doesn't track you. You could use this for anything, even homework. I think this is a good site but like I have said before I prefer Google.

7.  https://www.ixquick.com/ This website is private, like duckduckgo.com. You can search for anything, including phone numbers, though they are in the process of taking this off the website. I'm not sure I would use this, but it is defiantly efficient.

8. http://www.dogpile.com/   This website would be good for searching for images, shopping, local, the white pages, and the web. It would be good for homework also. It is set up nice and easy to use. I would use it often because of how efficient it was while doing this project.
