Project #15 Search Engines

1. WolframAlpha
This website is most useful for calculating a math problem or getting information on a wide variety of topics. To find the answer to what you are looking for you can simply type it in, or it also gives you the choice to upload a image or file. I have never heard of this website. I played around with it and I believe it will be a great website to use as a student and educator.

2.  DuckDuckGO
This search engine is good for people who take pride in keeping things private. DuckDuckGo can look up just about anything while not allowing anyone to be able to track you. This search engine is also user friendly for people who speak a language besides English. The language of the whole website can be changed to better suit you.

3. Bing 
This search engine can be best used for finding information and it also is educational. Everyday Bing uses a new photo for it's background. These photos can be of animals, people, and places all over the world. What makes these photos interesting is that at the bottom of the screen their is a link to give you more information on the picture. Also, on it's homepage is a list a all the latest news.

4. Dogpile
This search engine can be used for finding information fast. It uses all the information from popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo and compile the best results for you.

5. Ask
The name says it all this website is most popular for answering questions. You can simply type in a question and the engine will give a list of answers.

6. Youtube
This search engine is used to find videos. Youtube has a wide variety of videos ranging from music videos to educational videos.You simply just type in a artist or keyword and you get the results for that search. This search engine can also be used for uploading your own videos when you create and account. I love this website and I get on it at least once a day. Mostly, when I use this website I search for music videos or funny videos.

7. Yahoo
This search engine can be used for a variety of your daily internet needs. Through Yahoo you can access your email or check the daily weather. You can also find out whats trending in the news world or even search for some information.

8. Ixquick
This search engine is used to find your most advanced searches. It also keeps your information private. That website is referred to the most private search engine. I think that keeping your information private is important other than that I do not really like this website.
