1) Wolfram Alpha would be useful for a lot of things. They work by providing the public with expert-level knowledge and algorithms to answer your questions. This search engine will also run an analysis and create a report on the information that you are searching for. This is a very interesting source. I really liked how organized it is and how they break things down by categories for you to search in.
2) ChaCha is very similar to Ask.com. The user asks a certain question and it will bring up some answers. This website also has some fun quizzes you can take and they listed some photo galleries that are interesting to look through.
3) Internet Archive is very interesting. This site lets you look through the internet at how webpages, books/documents, music, etc. from over 479 billion pages on the internet. This is such a neat site. They break everything down into categories and then subcategories. This is very well organized and it made me just want to start looking through all of the folders that they offer!
4) DuckDuckGo is fantastic! I always hate it when Google pulls up something that has nothing to do with what I asked in the first place. This website has much less clutter and they do not track you. You can also customize the look to suit you. This site allows you to create or discuss answers that are given as well.
5) Bing is a neater version of Google in my opinion. Bing is very easy to figure out and use. They have some trending topics along the bottom of the homepage and then some categories along the top of the page as well. This would be useful just to search for general or specific information.
6) Mahalo is a 'human-powered' search engine. This means that their are actual people that sift through the answers that you are being given, making them more relevant to your search. The only downside is that you will get fewer answers than if you used Google or Bing, but like I said, they will be more relevant.
7) Dogpile has a very cute presentation. I love how the trending topics are called "Favorite Fetches". This is just a basic search engine, just with a little different presentation.
8) Yippy is a deep web search engine, meaning that it searches other search engines for you. This would be great to use instead of jumping around among different engines, all of their information is given to you through this one site. This makes searching for information very convenient.
