General Search Engines |
I choose this site because I myself use it. You can go into the pre-selected menu on the front page and just browse if you want to or you can jump right into the search box to find what you want. |
This site is good because you can search for anything using the search box. When searching, I have experienced that more things will be found with your keywords using Google than using Yahoo! But there are no pre-selected menus on the front page. |

Kid-Safe Search Engines |
This site is great for kids, parents, and teachers. It is familiar because it is set up just like Yahoo! and kids can easily browse without parent worry. Teachers can search this site and find kid friendly resources to use in the classroom for lessons. |
This site is well put together, and reminds me a lot of Yahooligans. It has an area to search, but it also has an area in which you can browse. I also like that it has the option to look at the website through a librarian’s eyes. |

I like Dogpile best, frankly because it “fetches” information for me. If I know exactly what I am looking for I would definitely go here. I do like, at the bottom of the screen there is a place that has “favorite fetches” which can expand what you know about the internet. |
Well, I searched myself on this website and can you believe that there was a website out there for searching people and it had my parent’s name and age on it? It was strange to find that kind of information on the internet. Only about 2 websites had actual information about me. |

Travel Search Engines |
This search engine had mostly the same things as mobissimo.com had, however it had a section called fare buzz. I liked that because you can get trip ideas through there. I also liked the deals section – It let me dream a little bigger for the summerJ |
I really liked this website because it is a one-stop shop of everything you think about when you are going on vacation: hotel, airfare, and cars. The nice bonus to this website is the activity tab. Once you get to your destination, you will already have an idea of things you want to do. |

Best of the Worst Search
Engines |
I was really disappointed in this website. Kids ask a lot of questions and I thought
that it would be easy for them to search here. But I asked a few questions and what I
expected never came up. If you want to

Very strange website that has all the worst WebPages – at least that is what they advertise. There were some links I was afraid to even click on. So if you want questionable content go right here, but since I don’t I put it in my best of the worst. |
