The search engine Wolframalpha is a great resource tool. The website is very easy to use and understand. On the website you can enter in any math problem and it will give you the solution, how to solve, and any additional information you need. You can also enter in things other than math problems. I typed in Billy Joel and it gave me information on who he was, his birthday, where he is from, his albums, how many hits a day he gets on his wiki page, information from the wiki page, and many more additional needed information. This website can be used for multiple resources, but I would have to say that it is best for solving math related questions.
Bing
The search engine Bing is an easy to use website. When on the home page Bing offers you links to the most popular searches and uses predictive text to help you with your searches. After you click search Bing will provide you images and websites with information on the searched item. Bing also gives you a little bit of information for each website to help you narrow down your options for websites to use. I do not think that this website is specifically most useful for one thing. This website is a great resource for many searches.
Ask
The search engine Ask is a very simple, easy to use website. On the homepage, Ask offers a question of the day with multiple choice answers. If you choose the wrong answer Ask will explain why it was wrong and give you the correct answer. Ask also gives you the option to browse through previous questions of the day. Ask uses predictive text to help you with your searches. After hitting search Ask will provide you with websites, Amazon related links, and popular Q&A on the search. This website can be used for many searches, but in my opinion I believe that it would be best used for research papers.
WOW
The search engine WOW is a straight forward and simple website. This website offers options for the type of search you would like to do. You can choose from "Human edited search," "Search Engines," and "References." Once you make your choice then you can chose from one more option to refine your search more and then hit search. This website gives you options to help you better find what you are looking for. I believe that this website is most useful for research papers.
Webcrawler
The search engine WebCrawler is very bland and simple. This website uses other search engines to help you find your search. The website had no attraction to the site or helpful tools. This search engine is most useful for simple searches.
DuckDuckGo
The search engine DuckDuckGo is a simple designed search engine. On the homepage the website offers a "How-to" option to help you understand how to use the site. One interesting thing that this search engine does is add an "about" section when you search. The about section will offer you a definition of your search, where to buy your search, or other helpful information pertaining to your search. This website is very easy to navigate through. This search engine would be most useful for many things, but I think it would be best for looking up definitions.
Dogpile
The search engine Dogpile is a cute and simple website. Dogpile offers a "Favorite fetches" option where you can see the top searches of the page and an option to buy the app from the site. The website gives you the option to choose from web, imagines, video, news, local, shopping, and white pages before you search to help you better get the results you are looking for. For this website you pick from one of the previous options, type your search, and then click "go fetch." This website follows the theme of the title with a picture of a dog on the homepage and phrases for options that follow dog theme. In my opinion this website would be most useful for children using the internet for homework searches.
Alhea
The search engine Alhea is a plain and simple website. This site uses Google and Yahoo when doing the searches. Althea does not have predictive text nor does it offer you imagine or amazon options. This search engine is easy to use and to the point. I believe this website is most useful for simple searches.
