Hello everybody!
I started to deeply dig between the lines of the first URL suggested (noodletools.com) hence evaluating in a way what I can gain from this source: Let's have a look into these statistics:
I started to deeply dig between the lines of the first URL suggested (noodletools.com) hence evaluating in a way what I can gain from this source: Let's have a look into these statistics:
Search engines | the Number of their occurrence in noodletools.com |
Google Yahoo Ask Wikipedia ColombiaEncyclopedia IPL2 INFOMINE Other engines | (13times) (8times) Twice (4times) (3times) (3times) (5times) Once |
The noodletools approach uses the verb "need" so many times as if deciding for us though it's silly copy-paste descriptive sentences taken from the engines themselves.
The site does not list the exact address of each engine providing just links for them as if suggesting itself as a search engine for further search engines.
The other engines that are listed just once seem to be neglected though I suppose they are more interesting because they are related to specific domains of research.
The other suggested reading by Deborah Healy offers general technical tips but rather few search engine links. I supposed it needs also to be updated.
According to my personal point of view concerning the subject matter of search engines I would like to suggest one of the earliest and best books I have read :Gould,Cheryl. Searching smart on the world wide web: Tools and techniques for getting quality Results. This book suggests that though it's easy to find a lot of information on the net there is a total chaos on the net so that every user needs a guide. Internet is like that baby that is in the process of growth that's why we need some expert guides to help us evaluate such a field.
However, you shouldn't be deceived by everything but rather make an intelligent selection then try to discover by your own, your own special needs...My own search engines used to be the following: www.searchedu.com/ www.wikiwax.com/ www.highbeam.com / www.edusafe.us/ www.eduhound.com/ www.proprofs.com they are all good engines in the field of education but I wouldn't recommend them in other fields of research.
looking forward for your comments!
best regards!

Hi Khaled
ReplyDeleteIn fact, in general we need in our lives to the renewal always, special requests creativity it will never stop at a certain extent, and always seeks to get more, obviously, my brother, that the early and distinguished scholar and this shows through a search engine provided by you, which added a lot to us .
I think that we can not neglect any engine, and creative thinking can always be balanced and identifies the advantages and disadvantages of each drive, which means that we always need to a variety of search engines to ensure our highly professional.
For me, I rely heavily on search engine google and I rarely rely on the Yahoo search engine, and through my participation in the International Visitor Leadership Program in the United States of America has acquired search engine special U.S. State Department called "Alumni allows persons who have participated in the program of visiting only benefit greatly very different sources of knowledge.
But the search engine "noodletools" for me it was very easy, and uncluttered in a way that makes it easy to choose what you want and need, in addition to being easy to use for all, I have noticed my daughter, age 12 years has done good to use with great ease, and this shows that we need for the different engines to suit all levels.
Best regards.
you do like analysing, don't you? I find it very interesting that you go so deep into things. That is rare nowadays as people take an overview of things and don't take time to investigate as you do...Unfortunately I'm not like you, so, thanks for sharing your findings with us.
ReplyDeleteHello Khaled
ReplyDeleteVery detailed post. I enjoyed reading your post, and think you have some great tools to suggest. Perhaps it is time for you to write an article? That would be a very nice feather in your cap, so to speak. You definitely would have an audience in your more advanced computer users.
Very nice and I look forward to your future posts,
Robert
