The Top 100 Alternative Search Engines

Only using MSN, Google, Ask.com or Yahoo? These are the four most used search engines, 99.9% of the time. This blog discusses alternatives to the norm. These search engines give students an opportunity to use other resources and have a change of pace when teachers ask them to do a Google search. When there is a project to complete and students aren't familiar with something they need, and need a recommendation, they can use whattorent.com. This is a great source for students learning the web and looking for alternatives. I must admit, my students probably know what these are already, but I learned about them just today. So below, you will find a variety of the engines. Some allow you to ask questions, some make recommendations for you, such as: what to rent, some are metasearches, and there are alternative search engines.
