Next week we will explore search engines.  Lets start by  considering what you look for in a search engine.  What makes one better than another?  Here are some interesting and varied search engines.  After we try them out in the lab, we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each.

 

Below find some sample searches we can use to compare the different searches:

 

Google	Dogpile	Ask.com
SearchMe	Bing	Cuil

What is the most popular search engine in Japan?

 

Suppose you are looking for information on the following topics. First, think about how you would formulate your search.  Try several possibilities. Compare the results from these different searches across the six sites. Which are the most useful? Imagine you are looking for:

 

1) The countries where people live the longest

2) information on how long to bake an apple pie, and at what temperature

3) a downloadable pdf of the preparation book for the Mass driver's exam

4) information on how hurricanes form

5) the name of the Vice-President of Lebanon

6) a pizzaria near CELOP

7) graduate level programs in IT near Boston

8) video of a sport you have never heard of

9) a page about lemons (fruit) and a nice picture of a lemon

10) a page about tourist attractions near zip code 72472
