Search Engine Project #15

The search engines I chose were: WolframAlpha,  Aol, Bing,  ChaCha,Yahoo,Youtube, Duck Duck GO, and  Merriam-Webster. All of these source provide viewers with free assess to look up information.

                                               WolframAlpha provides many different types of information such as: geography, education, health, chemistry, finance, sports, computer systems, data, and much more. This search engine has the capability to help with mathematical problem which is helpful to all. WolframAlpha would be a very helpful website for student from the grade level kindergarden all the up to college students.



AOL stands for America online. The website it true to its name. AOL is the 4th largest online search engine in the U.S. It has more than 200 millions monthly consumers. This website is more than a search engine, it has the daily news, weather, and headlines all in one. This search engine is usefully when you need to look something up or, if we are looking to see what is going on in the world AOL is the place to look. 




Bing is one of my favorite search engines. Bing is owned by Microsoft. When searching for anything on bing you will get lost of options to choose from. Bing provide the information, images connected to the information, the location,  any new that there might be on the information, and videos. 



ChaCha is a question and ask search engine. It is a quick and easy way for you to get the answers to and question you might have on any topic. I personally like ChaCha because when ever I can not think of an answer to a question in my mind I can find it on ChaCha. However, even though ChaCha is a good search engine I would not use it if I was looking up information on a research paper or project.



Yahoo is a very well know and common website to many. Yahoo reminds me of AOL because they both provide many of the same opinions. On yahoo there is so much information at your finger tips. The homepage of yahoo has so many links to today news, weather, travel, technology, there is even a little comic strip on the homepage. Yahoo reminds me of a newspaper expect that its on online. Yahoo also provide a search bar to look up any information that you are looking too. 


DuckDuckGO is a search engine that is a little more private than other search engines, and has less clutter than other as well. I really liked how the website give you a tour of what all the website has to offers. DuckDuckGo is a simple search engine and it is community driven. 


Youtube is one of my favorite search engines. Youtube is also a very common search engine. Unlike other search engines youtube is a video base website. Even though there are only videos on the website it is still very useful. As a future educator you can find all types of videos about teaching and video that can help you about lesson planning and how to improve classroom skills. Youtube is also helpful because if your are looking to find a way to do something such as arts and creates, you can probably for the most part find it on youtube. Youtube is also a great place to start a blog and post your videos. 



Merriam-Webser is a very helpful search engine. Me personally when I do not know what a word mean it is helpful to go on a online dictionary to find the meaning. People really do not carry paper back dictionary anymore. Merriam-Webster is very convenient for looking up a word while you are on the go. It has been very helpful to me. The website also offer vocabulary words. When you look up a word it not only gives you the definition, but it also tell you how to annunciate the words, give you examples of how to use the word, and you can click on a button and the computer will say the words for you.
