Search Engines

#1 WolframAlpha: This search engine is used mainly for calculations. I played around with it for a little while and have been able to calculate many different algebra equations and things of that nature. It is also used for searching other information as well. I typed in the name "Jacob", and unlike many other search engines it gave me straight to the point facts about the name. The search for "Jacob" also showed me relevant graphs and charts. This search engine does not give you a bunch of different links for you to go through and find what you are looking for. It gives you a straight to the point answer to your questions and searches.

#2 ChaCha: Chacha is a search engine that can be found on the internet and even downloaded as a personal application on a smart phone. How it works is you type in a question, and chacha gives you relevant articles and websites to lead you to your answer. It pays human guides to answer questions for users also known as social searching.

#3Wink: Wink is used for searching other humans. We all love to be a little nosey about others, so here is your chance. You can get linked in with other people you know by simply typing in their name and city. I tried to search myself on this website but failed to find anything.

#4 indeed: Indeed is a website for those looking to find employment in their area. You can post jobs if you need to hire someone, as well as search for jobs to apply for and hopefully become on employee. The way this works is you create a resume, upload the resume, and then search jobs in your area to send to future employers. I like this website because it keeps up to date on new jobs, as well as seperates the jobs you wish to apply for.

#5 Care: Care is a website created to help parents find babysitters in their area. This website allows parents to create a descriptive profile explaining the background of children, hours needed, and pay rate. It gives the babysitters the chance to create a resume, have a background check completed, and talk to potential new families to babysit for. I like this website because I ahev personally used it to get in contact with families to babysit for, and have felt safe with the families I was set up with.

#6 Puppy Find: Puppy Find is exactly what the title of it says. It is a search engine used to find puppies. You can type in the kind of puppy you are searching for and also the area for which you live near to go and get your puppy. I have used this to buy the dog I now currently have, and I like it because it matches you with not only the specific breed you are looking for but also other similar dogs.

#7WebMD: WebMD searches the web for symptoms and pharmacy information to help you learn more about different illnesses. This can be an interesting thing for people who try and self diagnose themselves everytime you get sick. You could lead yourself into thinking you have developed something a lot worse than just the common cold. But it can very helpful to help you learn more about medical information.

#8Kayak: Kayak can be used to search for all of your travel information. You can find flights, hotels, and cars for a discounted rate. It is easy to navigate. This can be helpful when you are trying to book your travel plans.
