Other Search Engines

Google Chrome is not the only search engine available. Below are some additional search engines.
​​

Sweet Search

Picture
SweetSearch is a Search Engine for Students. It searches only the 35,000 Web sites that our staff of research experts and librarians and teachers have evaluated and approved. We constantly evaluate our search results and "fine-tune" them, by increasing the ranking of Web sites from organizations such as the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, PBS and university Web sites.
  
SweetSearch helps students find outstanding information, faster. It enables them to determine the most relevant results from a list of credible resources, and makes it much easier for them to find primary sources. We exclude not only obvious spam sites, but also marginal sites that read well, but lack academic or journalistic rigor. As importantly, the very best Web sites that are often buried on other search engines appear on the first page of SweetSearch results.

Google  scholar

Picture
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.

Bing

Picture
Bing is a web search engine owned and operated by Microsoft.

Wolfram Alpha

Picture
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.

million short

Picture
Million Short simply removes the top 1 million most popular web sites from its index. What would you discover?

DuckDuckGo

Picture
DuckDuckGo (DDG) places priority on protecting privacy and avoiding personalized search results. The main difference between DDG and other search engines is that it does not profile its users by showing users the same search results for a search term. DDG shows the best search results, not the most search results.
