Project 15 Search Engines


Picture of many search engine logos.


 (I looked up "The University of South Alabama" in each search engine.)
1. Bing: When I looked up this keyword, the search engine brought up statistics, maps, the website, pictures, related searches, and famous alumni. This site can be used to look up news stories, videos, and history. This site is nice to search things for general information.
2. DuckDuckGo: When I looked up this keyword, the search engine brought up the Wikipedia site, statistics, and labeled the official website. This search engine has a nice feature; it does not track what is being searched. This is a good privacy feature. The language can also be changed.
3. Dogpile: When I looked up this keyword, the search engine brought up the website and statistics. This website compiles information from other big name search engines. Also, this search engine has a handy white pages feature.
4. Yahoo: When I looked up this keyword, the search engine brought up the website, related websites, and statistics. This website is manly focused on the news part of web searching.
5: Ask: When I looked up this keyword, the search engine brought up related questions and statistics. This website is mainly focused on the question and answer form of web searching. This site is good for finding the answer to specific questions.
6. Info: When I looked up this keyword, the search engine brought up the website and related websites. This search engine uses information from other websites to come up with results.
7. ChaCha: When I looked up this keyword, the search engine brought up related questions to the topic. This search engine is just like Ask because it focuses on the question and answer form of web searching.
8. Wolframalpha: When I looked up this keyword, the search engine brought up every statistic possible about the topic. This search engine is good for wanting to know everything about a topic. This site is also good for calculating problems.
