Here are links to the three recommended Search Engines:
Click on Logos for Each Site.
Google and its name has become a part of the language. Its current search engine automatically gives websites that Google determines is the best for terms used in your particular search. As with all search engines, be as precise as possible. However, you may find that too many words lead you nowhere.
Bing Search is the latest search from Microsoft and is given Google some well-needed competition. The searches are thorough. However, as with Google they tend to emphasize commercial sites.
Yahoo is the oldest search engines and until recently it has had some business difficulties because of Google's dominance. However, the company has turned its search around. It uses regular search plus has added the ability to answer questions. Yahoo offers many other services as well. It's most well known service is the Yahoo Groups.
