1. Dogpile is almost identical to Google. You can use this search engine to search anything you can think of. It has it set up so you can search the web, images, videos or news. It is very user friendly. You just type in what you are looking for it pulls up all relating websites.
2.Ask is almost identical to Google as well. You just type in what you want to search for and it responds with websites relating to it. You can search for almost anything. The way it is laid out is very easy to use. It is very fast. I almost like it as much as I like using Google.
3. Duck Duck Go is very similar to Google, Ask, and Dogpile. To me, it is not very good as far as providing great relating websites. The home page is very useful to use. You just type in what you want to search. You can use it to search anything you desire. I really didn't enjoy using this search engine.
4.Bing is useful for looking up or researching things. It brings up many different relating websites to your search. It also suggest things to you to search. To me, this search engine is too busy. It might be distracting for someone who is trying research one particular subject.
5.Clusty searches other search engines for you. It is very useful. When you search one particular subject it brings up information that is clustered into groups. You can pick which group you want. I loved this, because you can go right to what you are looking for without scrolling and scrolling until you find what you want. I definitely recommend this search engine to anyone.
6.Webopedia is used to search the meaning of terms, and how they relate to technology. You type in your term and it brings up how it is related to technology. It is pretty neat for all those people who are not technologically savy. I would definitely use this search engine if I needed to know something about technology.
7.Mahalo is said to be a "human-powered" search engine. This means that a committee of editors manually look through content. With this, you get fewer results from your search. After exploring this search engine, it realized it was very hard to use. It seemed to me that whatever you searched for, you got a YouTube video about it. It did not seem very reliable to me. I would not suggest this site to anyone.
8.WolframAlpha is very similar to Google. You just type in what you are researching and it immediately gives you results. I really liked this search engine because you can search for anything, and it gives you all the facts about it. It is very user friendly. I had never heard of this search engine before, but I will definitely be using it more often.
