Before Oct. 1st the only search engine I ever used was google. After spending the better part of the afternoon reading through and exploring all the different search engines, speciality engines, meta engines, invisible web searches and directories available I will probably now use mamma, dogpile, search.com and metacrawler much more.
I never really needed or knew about the resources that were available on line before this class. I like how the meta searches combine a couple engines together to cut down on the steps I have to do to look information up.
The one thing I found that fouls me up is I keep digging deeper into links and when I want to go back to my original point I have no idea how to get there or where I even was. Windows close before I realize that I have clicked out of it and moved on.
