Search Engines

If you are like most people, you probably have a favorite search engine that you use all the time. Chances are good that it is Google. There is nothing wrong with that, but once in a while it is worth the trouble to take a look at an alternative.

I have been playing around with Blekko and it has some interesting features, the most notable of which is its use of slash tags in the search query to limit results to desired categories. You could do the same with Google's advanced search feature, but how often do you bother to do that. The tags let you hone your search quickly when needed; if you want a broader search, simply leave them out.

Give it a try.
