Google
By default, Google only returns pages that include all of your
search terms. There is no need to include "and" between terms.
Use quotation marks for an exact term match. Keep in mind that the order
in which the terms are typed will affect the search results.
To restrict a search further, just include more terms.
Yahoo!
Yahoo! is a subject-based directory that happens to be searchable,
so if you're not looking for a specific web site, choose search
terms based on the general subject you're interested in. It
is best to click on the categories listed and then search to
limit your results. When other people have done searches similar
to yours, Yahoo! lists these queries right under the search box.
One of these might help you narrow your results.
AllTheWeb.com
Powered by Yahoo!, you may find AllTheWeb a lighter, more customizable
search experience than you get at Yahoo itself. AlltheWeb displays
common search terms that are associated with your query based
on previous users' queries. Click on a search term to narrow
your search. If AlltheWeb finds more than one page of results
for your query, you can find the "Search within your results"
link next to the search box at the bottom of your results page.
Use quotation marks for an exact term match.
Ask.com
Ask.com was formerly called AskJeeves. This search engine lets you search by asking questions and responds with what seems
to be the right answer to everything. Ask.com has a smart search
feature that will often present additional information related
to the subject matter you are seeking. These items appear at
the top of the page, above the search results.
Bing.com
Bing.com (formerly Live Search, Windows Live Search, and MSN Search)
is Microsoft's search engine launched in 2009. Microsoft markets Bing.com as a decision engine, not a search engine.
A search will show a list of sub-categories on the left side of the web page and search results in the center of the page. If you scroll on the right side of each search result, a yellow "node" appear and when scrolled over with the mouse, a box pops up with
expanded data.
