AltaVista Review
Mar 2 2008, 10:13 PM EST had never used AltaVista before today. I found the search engine very easy to use and found many more websites than I had found before while using google. What is also great about AltaVista is that when you type in what you are looking for you can also receive images, video and recent news. This tool will be extremely helpful when it comes to needing those "extras" for my paper. On the advanced section of AltaVista I found this also to be helpful because with my topic I have to be extremely narrowed and this function allowed me to do so. The one thing that I did not like about Alta Vista was that when I typed in certain topics the number of hits did not display. During some of my topic research everything popped up on my screen, from buying a tracking dog to the origins of the original working dogs. This is where the advanced function really helped. I am looking forward to using this search engine again. Do you find this valuable? |
