You still don't get it? It will find you! That's what it does! It

Advantages: Fast
Disadvantages: Getting too big for its boots

"The google Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Google begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.." - - - - - - - - - - - - - I guarantee there's no man out there that would hand over their hard-drive willingly to the police, allsorts of mischievous searches and accidental ...
...In fact there's no copper out there who would have over their hard-drive.lol.!! These things are our new electronic hearts and Goggle will soon be the most powerful cardiologist on the planet, all of us soon to hooked up to their ECG. Blackmail aint the word! But its 'Street Map' that's all the talk, a bold and powerful move by the worlds biggest search engine to keep an eye on us. They democratically let everyone else keep an eye on us but that's ...

Ding Dong

Advantages: asking questions
Disadvantages: sometimes come back with wrong results and lots of advertising

www.ask.co.uk Isa very reliable website containing a very clever search engine, the special feature about this search engine is that it excepts people asking questions which can be very handy if you can’t think of a word or a phrase. On www.ask.co.uk there are several links to other pages within Ask Jeeves here are some of them: Shopping Jeeves Mail Travel Money Today’s Questions What Are People Asking Now? The last question can ...
...have a nose around! There are two main pages Ask Jeeves pages there is www.ask.co.uk and www.ask.com. Also on www.ask.com there is a link that takes you to Ask Jeeves For Kids, which is very for homework. I would recommend this search engine to everyone who wants to find reliable information. ...

ask again

Advantages: professional layout, good image search
Disadvantages: dull layout could be more fun/attractive and searching not as accurate as google

ASK.com is trying to be one of the great competetive search engines, like google, msn and yahoo. Now taking up Tv Advertising its popularity seems to fluctuate however it is still not in the most visited websites (yahoo being first, google being second).. Ask.com has developed a great new feature which allows you to preview the page before visiting it, this is unique to ask.com - however this is not available for all websites, but is fairly up ...
...show off with these features but the key concept that they do not understand is speed. Yes the results page loads very fast, but not as fast as google and why does it have a special page effect (on loading the results the page appears slowly getting thicker from its translucent state) The layout of the results is also not as attractive compared to google, it looks plain, with few colours, its nice that they put the search bar on the side like windows ...

Review of askjeeves.com/ask.com

Yahoo

Advantages: Accurate, fast results, free
Disadvantages: Too much unwanted information on homepage

Before I start writing this I must say that I don't use Yahoo very often as I prefer Google (read my review on it and see why). Yahoo, is just your basic search engine with nothing really that special about it. It does everything a search engine is supposed to do really. However, it does have one good feature that I use often and that is Yahoo Answers. This is basically where you type a question and the answer can be found quickly and with ease. ...
...and accurate results too. However, when I want to use a search engine that's all I want, I don't want to told the news, the weather and the sport all at them same time. This is what Yahoo provides on its homepage. You just don't need that. That's why Google will also win over these two search engines as its just plain and simply a search engine. Nothing more. Overall, Yahoo is a good search engine but Google will always be better. ...

The Fallen Giant

Advantages: MP3 and Image search
Disadvantages: No one uses it!!!

###Intro### Altavista used to be the world's largest search engine, but then it went portal, and then it wasn't. A company then bought it and turned it into a Google style search engine, but with MP3 and video search. However, the new additions didn't return. ###So what's it use?### The MP3 search is useful, but Lycos Music beats it, the image search is good, but you have Google images. The only reasons, in my view, why you would use it are to ...
...###Babelfish?### Yes, Babelfish is one of the web's best translation tools. It breaks the language boundries. Okay, it's not perfect, but you can translate a Spanish site into English, and still make sense of it. It also allows you to enter text and translate it. (Cheat!). ###So is it worth a try, for a search?### I also use Altavista if I don't find what I want on Google, sad really, such a former great, not used anymore. ###It's fast though### ...
