Search Engines

 

The following search engines are only allowed for Senior Students

bullet Choose the Best Search for Your Information Need
bulletClusty the Clustering Engine
This innovative metasearch engine differs from others by clustering results by subcategories.
bulletGoogle

To enter a query into Google, just type in a few descriptive words and hit the 'enter' key (or click on the Google Search button) for a list of relevant web pages.  Since Google only returns web pages that contain all the words in your query, refining or narrowing your search is as simple as adding more words to the search terms you have already entered. Your new query will return a smaller subset of the pages Google found for your original "too-broad" query.
