Search Engines

So, I have been a googler for as long as it's been alive. More so now than ever. I remember a few of the engines we use to use in the mid-nineties. Magellan, WebCrawler, Excite, and Infoseek are a few that come to mind. Mid-nineties...Wow! That was not that long ago, was it?

Anyways, I tried Mamma and Dogpile for the first time. I used the same search terms on all my inquiries (including Google).

Mamma was not so impressive. I got some links that I just said, what the ??? Irrelevant to what I was asking for, but some hits that were perfectly acceptable as well.

Now Dogpile was more respectable. Because I was doing a search that required more educational resources, I was quite surprised by the good hits I got. Even some outside the US that in some cases were preferable.

Google is definitely my mainstay, but I will consider other sources in future. Maybe. ;0)
