Re-discovering the Internet



Searching the web has become an everyday occurrence for me.  I check Yahoo!'s OMG for juicy gossip, The Weather Channel for the forecast, and Facebook to update people on my so not exciting life. Yet, with all the surfing I do, I realized I needed a search tool to fit personal style.  


Chapter 3 has brought the search process up a notch for me.  I can now search more easily, get quicker results, find images/videos/multimedia to use, and check if a site is legit or a paid sponsor.   I'm a Google gal at heart, especially for general information.  But, when I'm doing research for a paper, I find I switch search engines for more precise and creditable information- like LexisNexis and my school's vast online library.  *Google tends to have too many options even with a specified search query.  
What's your favorite search tool?
