Bing- is a search engine much like google. It helps you by giving suggestions to what you might be searching. It also suggest things at the bottom that might be of some interest that are happening currently.

Yahoo- is probably one of my more preferred search engines. One thing that is unique about it is that it gives you the current weather conditions of your location. It also suggests the trending searches at that moment ranking from 1 to 10.

Ask- is a search engine much like google in that it is the question answering genius. You simply type in your question and it gives you the answer or something very similar to what your asking. Although its not nearly as used now this search engine has been around for a pretty long time.

DuckDuckGo- another search engine that is modeled after google but this one doesn't have near the amount of adds as google. Actually a good one to use, and I have never even heard of it until tonight.

Dogpile- one thing I found extremely unique about this site is that it had specific folders for searching. For example the one I found most useful was the "white pages". You can look up individuals just by their name and find their phone numbers and addresses. Which ultimately can be good and bad depending on who is trying to look up your information and their motive behind it.

Yippy/Clusty- one thing that was unique about this search engine was the fact that it has a specific search for blogs. This would be especially helpful for future searches for blogs we need to refer to. It also had a jobs portion that you could search.

Webopedia- was a search engine that is much like a dictionary for the web. You simply type in a word that you don't know like URL for instance and it will tell you the definition. This would be especially helpful for edm310 because sometimes we run across technological terms that we may not understand.

Wolframalpha- this search engine was one of the coolest ones I have discovered. It is bacically a calculator. You can simply type what you want to be solved and it will give you the answer. I wish I would have known about this search engine years ago. I will definitely be using this again.
