6a using internet search tools

Before this class the only search engine I used was http://www.google.com/. I used it for everything and it usually gave me many results that were relevant to what I was looking for.
Now that I am trying out more search engines I use USDA.com and CDC.com because they have a lot of information regarding trends and laws for this country regarding nutrition. USDA.com offers a browse by subject side bar, search tips, and advanced search option and I can use quotation marks to search by phrase.

I like SurfWax metasearch because I get plenty of relevant results. http://www.surfwax.com/

Excite is also good with results that are relevant. I like the right side column that offers suggestions on what I am looking for even thought there were many results from my search. It gives me more related topics pertaining to my subject to choose from. http://www.excite.com/
