WolframAlpha is the search engine that will calculate any problems you may have. Under the search bar, there is a link for examples and random problems. This would help in almost any math or number-based class and will also help in any computer based classes. I had never heard of this search engine until recently, and it seems like a good one to use.
ixquick is "the world's most private search engine" as stated on the home page. It protects your privacy and ensures that your business is your business, and not the business of anyone who wants to know what you have been up to, and when. They try to offer good search results with great privacy. I have just now learned of it, but it seems very logical to use ixquick if you want to hide something!
Bing is a decent search engine as it shows news and has a popular page where the world's most popular stories are shown. It also has a search bar that will bring up much of the research you may need. It also has tabs at the top for Images, News, Videos, Maps, and many others. Bing has not always been my top search engine, but it does have its perks.
Yahoo! Search is the second largest search engine behind Google and is powered by Bing. Yahoo! sends its directory of websites to you. It also has a trending box on the home page, where the most talked about people have stories written about them, and the most important news of the day. It also has the current weather using the location services on your device. I personally use Yahoo! on occasion.
Ask.com is a great search engine for anyone with a random question… Ask will find it for you! On the home page it offers questions of the day and previous questions of the day, just to spark interest. I think that would be a good search engine for kids to use, because they may learn something new just from the home page. When you search a question, different websites will appear offering their best answer for you.
Aol has SafeSearch on automatically, and will be turned off only if you choose. It is enhanced by Google and seems like a reliable search engine. I have never used Aol, but I could see myself using it if need be.
Excite search engine offers websites that will help you book airline tickets, concert tickets, hotel rooms, shop on ebay, and even credit score websites. It seems like a good place to book vacations and see the latest news, as well as offering a customized site just for you.
Dogpile brings results from Google and Yahoo! to researchers. It presents links to popular stories of the day that may interest readers. Along with the usual tabs, such as web, images, video, and news, it has local, shopping, and white pages. When searching, the first few results to pop up are ads, and below that is other search results, such as websites with answers to questions.
