Looking for Something?

After trying with different Web Search Engines I found the next.


Google is a very powerful tool with a huge collection of data in its servers. The algorithm Google uses works quite well allows me get to any web page just by setting my search criteria properly. Here you can find a (.pdf)search guide that will give you an idea of how to set appropriate searchings up.


A web server is a pretty big and powerful computer that stores information about websites in the entire world indexed and classified by topic (tags). How powerful and useful a web search engine is depends on the amount of information it stores and the algorithm is performs.

In order to fulfill the objective of our task, I tried SweetSearch and look for the same information: ABCD Objectives.


As I predicted myself, I got the same result by using SweetSearch as using Google. And I got to the same website with the same material. The key here is to follow the rules for setting up a search appropriately.

Nevertheless, SweetSearch is great for beginer searchers that cannot state a complex instruction on Google.

It was great to try this different web searchers and I am surely going to suggest this to my students in order to help them with their own researches.

  1. Dear TheDalton,

    I am very amazed about how many technological tools you handle and I will have this like a goal to my profession, because it is very interesting to work on line, I tried to create an account in Sweet Search but it was difficult for me, could you please give me some guidelines to do that?

    On the other hand I already worked with bing and I can say for sure that this tool is great for working with the students especially with university students.

    Warm regards,

    Loly
