1. Bing -"Bing is a search engine that brings together the best of search and people in your social networks to help you spend less time searching and more time doing."
Bing is very similar to google. It is google's biggest competition. I use bing for their images and suggest other do too, and the way they connect things similar to you and what you've looked at before. They have a bing app you can download on your phone for quick and easy access as well. They partner with MSN, outlook.com, xbox, windows, office, and microsoft word.
2. Dogpile- "InfoSpace metasearch engine offering search of the general web, or images, audio, video and news. Also offers search of Yellow Pages and White Pages."
"The time-saving philosophy of metasearch is so important to us that it even inspired our name! In rugby, players come together and pile on top of one another. This is exactly what Dogpile’s metasearch technology does – it compiles all the best results in one easy-to-access place! And because every good team needs a loyal mascot, we adopted Arfie. You can find him any time on Dogpile, where he works as a retriever of sorts. When you search the Web on Dogpile, he’s quick to fetch the exact results you want when you want them."
3.WolframAlpha- "Wolfram|Alpha introduces a fundamentally new way to get knowledge and answers— not by searching the web, but by doing dynamic computations based on a vast collection of built-in data, algorithms, and methods."
This website is good at giving you just the information you need. It does not send you all over the web for answers. It gives you graphs and all the stats on everything you want to know.
4. Yahoo-"Yahoo is focused on making the world's daily habits inspiring and entertaining - whether you're searching the web, emailing friends, sharing photos with family, or simply checking the weather, sports scores or stock quotes."
Yahoo is mainly known for YahooMail and YahooNews. It is along the same lines as bing and google. They take pride in their news stories and keep their site up to date. I would see people using it more for mail and news rather than searching, but it does the same tasks that bing and google do.
5.Ixquick- "Ixquick search engine provides search results from over ten best search engines in full privacy. Search anonymously."
They advertise that you can search privately. It includes Advance Searches, and global searches. You can search for phone numbers with their International Phone Directory.
6.Duck Duck Go- "DuckDuckGo is a search engine driven by community – you're on the team! "We're not just servers and an algorithm. We're so much more."
Their slogan says, "Real Privacy, Smarter Search, Less Clutter". It is very organized and easy to read. It is less clutter just like the slogan says. I think this would be helpful when searching for a very specific thing.
7.AOL- "At AOL, we're in the business of making the Internet better -- period. Through innovation and creativity, we've raised the bar and set the standard for what we believe high quality content is on the Internet."
Aol has a lot of information just on their homepage alone. They keep you up to date with the weather, news going around the world, sports, and more. They are also used as a mail tool that works very well.
8.Ask- "Our mission is to get our millions of users across the globe the answers they need. We've been in the Q&A business for more than 17 years, and although Jeeves has since retired, we carry on his passion for serving our 100 million users with answers they can trust. Learn more about the Ask.com story."
Ask is a lot like google and bing, again. They pride themselves in the fact you can "ask" them anything. They will find you an answer very precise.
