Search Engines

Our task this week is to explore a variety of search engines, specifically Rollyo, Mamma, and Dogpile. Some of these are new to me and offer unique and interesting features. Rollyo allows users to create a customized search engine. Mamma eliminates any unnecessary results and provides a shorter list to select from. Dogpile combines search results from Google, Yahoo, Ask, and Live Search. It also provides a list of favorite searches done recently by users. All three appear to work well and returned results relevant to my search (bridal shower ideas). Some of the same websites were in the top ten of each search engine. Overall, I think Dogpile is my favorite because of its ability to combine all search engines into one. That said, I will probably continue to use Google since I am most familiar with it.
