Using a New Search Engine

For using a new search engine I chose to use yahoo. When I normally conduct a search on the internet I use Google because it is the easiest search engine for me to use. When using Google I get plenty of useful hits for whatever search I am doing. When I used yahoo do conduct a search I found that it gave me a lot of hits just like Google would.


When I searched yahoo, I searched the topic of puppy mills because that is what my scavenger hunt is about. When I searched yahoo I typed in puppy mills and I got 4,240,000 hits. The first hit was stoppuppymills.org which is a good site because it is an organizational site. Many, almost all organizational sites are fairly for the most part good sites. Six out of the first 10 hits were organizational sites therefore this proves that yahoo has just as good of a search engine as Google does.


To get more hits or better hits I probably could’ve typed in “information about puppy mills” or “the truth about puppy mills”. When I typed in “information about puppy mills” six out of the first ten hits were organizational sites; I got
2,220,000 hits. When I typed in “the truth about puppy mills” there was one organizational site and one educational site out of the first ten hits; I got 1,240,000 hits with these words.
