RJA #7a: Internet Research Tools

The only search engine is really use is google just because of the ease to use it. It (most of the time) returns the correct thing I was looking for, maybe not on the first search I create but certainly after I rearrange my search terms. I feel like google has a very big footprint for searching and that is why I currently use just that search engine. With you broadening the search engine horizon I have found new search engines that I didnt even knew existed. For example I think I may use dogpile more often for when I am starting a research project and need many results to help me choose an area of interest, or maybe to reduce the amount of searches returned because I am focusing on a certain topic.
