Jann in TX Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm considering advertising on a few different search engines... I'm experimenting with Google... What search engine do you use when looking for homeschool resources/classes/information? I tend to use Google because that is what DH set up in my tool bar... I've seen lots of new ads out for Microsoft's "Bing"...but I have not used it yet. TIA Jann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff in TX Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I am a faithful Google user myself, so I don't really have any other suggestions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 i use dogpile.com Why? because that's what my friend showed me....12 yrs ago:-) Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I use ask.com. I find it easier, and I can specify for child content (click on 'for kids'). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 It depends what I'm searching for. I swap between Yahoo and Google quite frequently and have both toolbars installed on my browser. If you want a quick answer like a definition, calculation, or something like that, I prefer Yahoo. To find and browse through sites, I prefer Google.

BikeBookBread Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Google. I know that I DON'T like that new Microsoft one, "Bing". I don't get it. Maybe I'm not techie enough. Edit: FWIW, I also recently switched from Explorer to the free Mozilla Firefox internet search engine..no more internet crashes, slow loading, etc. Edited July 7, 2009 by BikeBookBread More info...

gardening momma Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yahoo. With just about any search engine, there are some search tips that will help you get the most relevant results. If I want to find homeschool classes, I'd type +"homeschool classes" +ohio instead of homeschool classes ohio (putting it in quotes makes sure that the results will bring up those two words together, and the + for most search engines requires each set of words to be in each site in the results list. If I want homeschool classes but not a co-op, I'd say +"homeschool classes" +ohio -"co-op" so co-ops are not included. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/search/basics/basics-04.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I love Google - can't stand Bing. It never seems to come up with what I'm looking for when I use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
