Best Search Engines
Some Search engines are better at finding certain types of data. Here are the ones I believe to be the best:
Google
Google has come to dominate the Search engine arena on the Web; mainly because it does what it does better than the others. In this case, “better” means that it is faster; that the results it offers are more likely to be relevant to your request; and that it will not mix in commercial results with the legitimate data.
As excellent as Google is at searching, there’s more to be found there; visit the site’s main index at www.google.com/options/index.html to see what is available.
Ask
A sort of merger between former sites Ask Jeeves and Teoma, this database is not as large as Google or Yahoo!, but they rank search results differently than most; this alone makes them a useful site to visit. Along with results returned, there is a "Narrow your Search" area, with suggestions for refining your search when the first results are not specific or relevant enough. And for balance, there is an "Expand your Search" area, with suggestions for when you want to cast a wider net. Like Google, there are many neat features to explore, and I encourage you to do so. Sponsored links are clearly marked as such.
Yahoo!Search
It seems likeYahoo! has been around since the Internet itself. When using Yahoo! Search, you may choose for it to search the Web, Yahoo!'s own directory (Yahoo! has long been one of the largest portals to the Web), the Yellow Pages, and other categories.
