What's a good search engine?

Question

I need to find a very helpful search engine besides google, ask, and yahoo. I have used these search engines already for a project I am doing. Do you have any other search engine I can check out?

Answer 1

AllTheWeb, MSN, Lycos, Technorati, Feedster, Wikipedia, Bloglines, Altavista, A9. All these options are there automatically in firefox.So when you searchyou can click on the other search engine links to get the results in that engine

I think the problem is with the way you are conducting the Search, rather than with the Search Engine.

I'm sorry if I appear to be blunt, but then, I've seen a lot of people search without understanding how a Search Engine works.

It isn't a human being, but a program that searches and isolates meta tags and doesn't understand your human language. Please do appreciate the fact that behind the words you "see", there are actually just 1s and 0s. The search Engine understands only + and -.

If you are looking for the answer to a question, then do not ask the question, but ask it to search for the most likely words that will be in the answers.

For example, if you want to find the recipe for a good BBQ Steak, generally, people type in "How do I BBQ a good Steak?" Ergo, the Search engine looks for the tags "How" "do" "I" etc etc in that order. Had they typed Steak BBQ Recipe, they'd have got the answers quickly; simply because the meta tags were arranged sequentially.

There are many more Search Engines which I can give you the links to; but the reason I'm telling you all this is that you will have little or no results comparable with what you already have, just because you're doing it wrong.

In Google, first do the search in the first broad meta tag that you know the answer to your question will be broadly classified under. Like Physics, Biology, Arts etc.

Then scroll down the first result page and click on "Search within Results". In the dialog box that appears, type in the next meta tag you now will be sequentially there, like for example Quantum [in Physics] to narrow down the Search Results.

Search within Results is the - function which tells it to discard those entries without this tag.

Now you do it again, and this time you type in "Theory of Relativity", for example and hit enter. The field narrows down further. And then you type in "Einstein's" to get the final results.

If you're looking for a Tutorial, for example, then that's the best meta tag to start with.

If you're looking for an Essay, that's where you start.

Now, I'd suggest that you start Searching properly with this knowledge, and I'm sure that you'll achieve optimal output.

All the best.

Cheers.
