search engines

Back in the good old days, a search engine did just that, searched for relevent information and read it back to you.

You might like to compare google's search results with those of alternative search engines. The results vary according to the search parameters used by each engine.

================

Google alone is often not sufficient, however. Less than half the searchable Web is fully searchable in Google. Overlap studies show that about half of the pages in any search engine database exist only in that database. Getting a second opinion is therefore often worth your time. For a second opinion, we recommend Ask.com or Yahoo! Search. We no longer recommend using any meta-search engines.
