Search Engines

 

Google is currently considered to be the best search engine and seems to be the one everybody uses.
But, don't get stuck in a rut; try some of the others. You may be surprised at the results you get from Dogpile, Mamma, Vivísimo, Wisenut or any of the other engines listed.
There is a good search tutorial on the "Search Engine Showdown" web site at
