For my search tool, I used altavista.
Five features I found were:
1.You can either search worldwide or just in the United States. Your results of your search can either be in all languages or English or Spanish.
2.You can search by the web, images or by news.
3.There is a settings link that you can click, and it will take you to another screen where you can set your search by however you want.
4.They have a family filter that you can use so you don’t accidently get a questionable web site.
5.In their advanced search you can put in all words, exact phrases, any of these words or even none of these words. You can give it a time frame. Choose the type of format that you want in your results such as pdf. You can have your results come up as either a domain or by URL.
I liked this site. I think I will keep it tucked in the back of my mind, to use later when I need to do more in-depth internet searches.
Nice summary of some of Altavista's search features. That family filter is one that many people like to use to avoid getting unwanted sites. It's always nice to have a second serch engine tucked away, since you've learned that no single search engine indexes everything on the web.
