Search Engines: A Foreign Object to Teachers

What They Don't Tell You About Search Engines

1. Most publishers that review search engines, either on the net or in print, have a financial interest or partnership with the search engines they review. So much for an unbiased opinion!

2. For a fee, some search engines allow certain web pages to come up more often when searching.

3. We find most people to have more successful searches with meta-searches. Meta-searches search multiple databases from multiple search engines. We really like goggle.com and c4.com.

4. Most web designers make sure to list their site with the 'big 3,' (Yahoo, Alta Vista, and Google), because these sites have the most extensive collection.
