Project #15 Search Engines

Here is my list for 8 different search engines. I have taken time to try each of these out or explore them in some way. I have included the links and a described how they can be used and how they are useful.














1.Go-to : For Go-To I searched for "wedding dresses" resulting in a list of wedding dress shops popping up. It was really good. I liked the fact that the most popular and most up to date shops popped up.



2. Lycos : For this search engine, I searched for the "Mardi Gras" bringing up a number of different Mardi Gras things from dresses to invitations. I really liked the set up, really appreciated it told me where I was and the temperature outside as soon as I pulled it up. This website it was very easy to you and I would use it again.



3. NationalGeographic Kids : This seems to be a great search engine for kids. They can search, find pictures, play games, and learn about the world. It also seems to be filtered pretty great.



4. Pipl : Is a search engine used to find people. I did not like this search engine at all. The fact that I could type my name and it told me what my street name was back in my hometown. I don't think that is very safe and I think the website should be taking down.



5. RefSeek : is a search engine that will search through newspapers, books, encyclopedias, journals and webpages.



6. DuckDuckGo : This search engine would be most useful searching for general topics It was created for users to search and not be tracked, and it also does not take or share any personal information from its users.



7. Wolframalpha : Wolframalpha is useful for mathematics, world facts, and data. It is really useful because it provides specific information on the topic you are searching for.



8. TeacherTube : TeacherTube as you can see in the title is a great search engine for videos, photos, and documents for teachers. It is really safe and you don't have to worry about unwanted things popping up when you type something in the search bar like on youtube. It is very educational and student friendly.
