Project #15- Search Engines

Duck Duck Go Search Engine


1.Dogpile - "InfoSpace metasearch engine offering search of the general web, or image, audio, video, and news. Also offers search of Yellowpages and Whitepages."

Dogpile is a time saving search engine. It returns all the best results from other search engines including Google and Yahoo.

2. Yahoo - "Yahoo is focused on making the world's daily habits inspiring and entertaining- whether you're searching the web, emailing friends, sharing photos with family, or simply checking the weather, sports scores or stock quotes."

Yahoo is mostly used for mail or news. Their site is always kept up to date with trending topics, new stories, and even live concert feed. Yahoo is very similar to google and bing.

3. Bing - "Bing is a search engine that brings together the best of search and people in your social networks to help you spend less time searching and more tome doing. "

Bing is Google's biggest competition. It is a good search engine for images. Bing also has a app you can download for easy access. Their news is always up to date.

4.Wolfram Alpha -"Wolfram|Alpha introduces a fundamentally new way to get knowledge and answers- not by searching the web, but by doing dynamic computations based on a vast collection of built-in data, algorithms, and methods."

This website gives you just what you need without sending you all over the web. Wolfram|Alpha used scientific methods and algorithms to bring expert level knowledge.


5.Duck Duck Go - "To give you great search results without tracking you."

Duck Duck Go is a search engine driven by community. This engine has three unique qualities such as real privacy, smarter search, and less clutter.

6. AOL - "At AOL, we're in the business of making the internet better -- period. Through innovation and creativity, we've raised the bar and set the standard for what we believe high quality content is on the internet."

AOL is known for their access to the best collection of journalist, artists, and musicians, on the web. They are also used as a mail tool that is very useful.

7.Ixquick - "Ixquick is the worlds most powerful search engine employing the most advanced metasearch technology."

Ixquick is known for its extreme privacy. It includes advanced search, global search and power refinement.

8.Ask - "Our mission is to get our millions of users across the globe the answers they need. We've been in the Q&A business for more than 17 years, and although Jeeves has since retired, we carry on his passion for serving our 100 million users with answers they can trust."

Once again, Ask is a lot like Google and Bing. You can "ask" them anything, and they will answer you precisely.
