MY PREFERED LIST OF
SEARCH
ENGINES

There are a few reasons why I prefer
some search engines over others. First,
I like a search engine that will highlight the words I’ve chosen to search. It
also needs to highlight the hits I’ve already visited. It needs to be easy to read and easy on the
eyes. Below are a few search engines and
search directories I found useful. Please be sure to review all Internet
information before sharing it with students.
