Internet Searching

As you may have noticed, I'm a HUGE fan of Google, but I recently found a new search engine for students. Often Google is overwhelming for students who are search for the best, most reliable information.

It's called Sweet Search and is located at http://www.sweetsearch.com

Sweet Search searches only the 35,000 web sites that their staff of research experts and librarians and teachers have evaluated and approved. They constantly evaluate search results and "fine-tune" them, by increasing the ranking of Web sites from organizations such as the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, PBS and university Web sites.

Sweet Search was created by the team at Finding Dulcinea (http://www.findingdulcinea.com) which presents only credible, high-quality and trustworthy Web sites, saving time for the novice and the experienced user alike.
