Project #15

I usually use Google when I am searching for something online. It was definitely strange using it to find other search engines that I could use. Here is eight search engines I have found:

Wolfram Alpha : Wolfram Alpha is a search engine that you can type in anything and it will give you useful information. You can type in a math problem and it will give you the result. It would have been nice to know about this website when I took math classes because it would have helped me out alot! You can also search people and it will give you their full name, birthday, and if they have passed away it will give you the day the passed and where. This site can be very helpful for different subjects in school.

MapQuest : Mapquest is useful for helping you find a place you are wanting to go. You type in the address that you would like to go to and the address that you will be coming from. It will give you directions from point A to point B. It becomes very useful when you do not know how to get to your destination.

 Bing : Bing is another search engine that can help you find what you are looking for. You can search keywords, images, and videos. It is similar to Google and can become very useful when looking up things you do not know.

 Craigslist : Craigslist is a search engine that can help you sell and buy different things and look for jobs or internships that are available in your area. You can search by your area and you can even search somewhere else in the country for things. If you might be moving and want to find something in that area that you need for your new home, or even a job available in that area, you can search for things in that area.

 Indeed : Indeed is a website that you can go to to find a jobs available in your area. You can search by the zip code, estimate salary you would like, and even by the type of job you are looking for. The website will even give you a description of the job that you may be looking at.

 Dogpile : Dogpile is a search engine that you can search by keywords, videos, images, and news. It is another website like Google and it can be very helpful when looking up information for a paper that you would have to write.

Yahoo : Yahoo is a search engine that you can use to look up videos, images, weather, news, and you can even use it for e-mail. It is another website that is very useful to look up information that you are looking for. Everyday it has the most recent news on their home page so that you can keep up with the news and what is going on in the world.

 Ask : Ask is a search engine that you can ask everyday type of questions and it will give you websites that you can go to that can help you find an answer to your question.
