My Top
Search Engines
General Search Engines
Google: Google is my top pick for search engines
because it is fast and accurate with high relevancy to my search topic. Another positive is that there are no sponsored
links to sift through at the top of the search page. This search engine can be used for all of my
search needs from personal to professional.
As far as general search engines go, I choose Google as my #1 pick.
Yahoo: Yahoo is my second pick for general search
engines for the same reasons that apply to google. Yahoo is relatively fast and demonstrates a
high relevancy to my search topic. Yahoo can be used for both personal and
professional searches on general topics.
News Search Engines
Google News: Once again google wins in the search engine
department. Google news provides a fast
service, varied news sources and complete information on the search topic. This search engine can be used to look for
recent news events of interest in my personal and professional life.
Find Articles: This search engine allows people to search
specific articles from a large variety of periodicals. I like this engine because I can search any
periodical of my liking without spending hours on the net. If you know what your
looking for, this engine is the one for you.
Medical Search Engines
Med Hunt: Med Hunt is an excellent search engine for
medical professionals. It provides
information on a large array of health topics.
This engine is fast, has high relevance, provides a variety of
information, and has complete information.
Medical World: Medical World gets a top rating by
default. This engine provides complete
medical information for the medical professional. The down side to this engine is that you must
register and pay an annual fee to fully use it’s
services. The reason that it was chosen
by default is that there are limited medical search engines, and even fewer in
the English language. Additionally, it
is common place to find that medical search engines require a fee.
Government Search Engines
Google Government Search: As with all google search engines, this one
is tops. This search engine provides
fast and accurate links to all of the government sites including local
government. This is useful to me in
looking up new disability guidelines.
Search Gov: This search engine also is fast and reliable
for searching government information.
This site also provides information for local, state and federal
agencies. This site is equally as good
as the google search for government information and actually has links which
may even make it easier to use.
Shopping Search Engines
MSN Shopping: I like msn shopping because they have
comparison shopping and provide a buyers guide and advice. Although I can honestly say that I don’t do
much shopping for work this way, I definitely like to shop for myself this way.
Froogle: Froogle is the google of shopping. Need I say more. Froogle has the same benefits as msn, but
without the buyers guide and recommendations
portion. I don’t know that this site is
necessarily better than many of the other sites, but it gets my vote for
coolest name.
