Project 15 - Search Engines

Search Engines

Yahoo.com was founded by Jerry Yang and David Filo in 1994. The Corporation is located in Sunnyvale, California. This website has a large search directory to locate information for school and work. Yahoo has other search engines, such as Yahoo Mail, Yahoo News, and other sites. I use this search engine for my primary email and looking up the news.

Yummly.com was founded by David Feller. The corporation is located in Redwood, California. This website searches for food, cooking, and recipes. It allows users to look up ingredients, nutrition, and meal courses. I use this website when I cannot find any recipes at home.

Mocavo.com was founded by Cliff Shaw and launched on March 16, 2001. This search engine has millions of records and historical documents online. Mocavo provides its customers with tools to build a family tree, and genealogical and historical research. Unlike some search engines, you have to pay to use this one.

WebMD.com was founded by Jim Clark and Pavan Nigam in 1996. This search engine provides health information and healthcare. Gives you a checklist for various illnesses and provides personal medical information. I thought this was a great website, but one still needs to see a doctor.

Bing.com/news is part of Bing, which is a web search engine. From different sources news is collected and categorized for users to browse the top stories in the news. Bing news also provides articles on politics, business, and entertainment.

Wolfram Alpha is a computational knowledge engine. This search engine answers problems dealing with math equations, it calculates them for you. In other words it helps you figure out math on the computer without pencil and paper. My finite math requires us to use this search engine. Unfortunately I am still figuring out how to use this program.

Lexisnexis.com is a computer based website that helps corporations and individuals with legal documents, research, and risk solutions. It was an experiment done by the Ohio State Bar in 1967. According to Wikipedia it is the world's largest electronic data base for public and legal records.
