Search Engines
WolframAlpha
This search engine is very beneficial for finding out the systematic questions people have. Whether it’s about math or science, this is a great online tool to use. Their long term goal is to make all systematic knowledge computable and broadly assessable. All you have to do is insert your input and it will generate results for you.

DuckDuckGo
I think the greatest thing about this search engine is that it doesn’t track your search history. I say that so hackers can’t find about your personal business to get your information. Also, they have everything you want your search engine to have. They give you results for news, images, and places. There are many cool features you can use. For example, you can use your computer as a stop watch versus using your data on your phone.

Bing
Bing is a good search engine for local business to use to get their businesses listed. Bing also has a way to save money by using there Bing Rewards app. Bing will also filter spam to keep your computer protected from viruses. Even though it comes second to Google, it is still very helpful.
Bing.com

Yahoo!
Yahoo is another compatible search engine. I like using Yahoo and find it convenient because I use Yahoo Mail. There are several attractions. You have weather, shopping, news, events, fashion, and so many more to choose from.
Yahoo.com

Blekko
Blekko uses a technology that operates on a unique system, Dynamic Inference Graph (DIG) algorithm, and editorial evaluation. Their datacenter will narrow the links down to a small database. They also have a feature called ROCKZi. It is a social news platform that users can embed on their websites to drive traffic and feature content.

WOW
WOW is enhanced by Google. On its home page there are specific boxes you can check to narrow down search. There are some complications that come with it. I’ve seen many reviews that complain about it being “buggy”. Once downloaded, it is hard to delete and keep off of your computer. I more than likely would not use this website, even with the convenient sites on the homepage.

iSEEK
iSEEK is a search engine that compares thousands of authoritative resources from university, government, and established noncommercial providers. It provides an intelligent search and a personal Web-based library to help you find the most relevant results immediately. From what I have discovered, teachers, students, and administrators should definitely use this search engine. I look forward to checking it out further.

RefSeek
Every time students have to write a paper, we need to use academic journals and reliable resources. When you use RefSeek, you can be sure you are getting good academic information. You can be confident that it is reliable, whether it’s a journal, a document, or articles. This is a great tool for students and educators.
