I really like bing.com, it reminded me a lot of google but I think it was easy to use and got good results for searches. Another search engine I like is mugurdy.com. I liked how this one showed you a picture of what the website looked like so you could find a relevant search faster. I thought I would like dogpile.com also but I thought it gave me results to a search that weren't what I was looking for at all. It seemed to just give you random websites that had a word from the search not a relevant website.

alternative search engines.

Hi Allie - thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteWe wish to improve the user experience of the visual search engine Mugurdy (http:://www.mugurdy.com). In particular the way in which, after the search results are displayed, the mouse rolling over an image produces a pop-up which is large enough to read. Clicking on the pop-up brings the user to the relevant website in a new window.
Is there a better way to do this? Is the pop-up needed at all or does it 'get in the way'? These are the questions we'd like your feedback on (and indeed any other observations you may have on Mugurdy). Thank you.
