My favourite is Google, with such a variety of functions and possibilities. I used the subject "Conservation" . The main Google search gave a wide range of sites eg Wikipedia, Home page of Department of Conservation(NZ). The discussion part of Google gave such aspects of conservation as "Proof that the law of conservation is wrong..." and "Energy conservation is the foundation of energy independence"
The "Books" heading gave titles such as "Fight for Conservation" by Gifford Pinchet 2009
and the images gave photos of pipelines and cartoons. Clicking the News heading produced "Paua poachers caught in night raid" and article from Stuff.co.nz
The wonderwheel offered the heading "Conservation jobs"
The other search engines like Yahoo and Bing gave similar opportunities for searching eg all included Related searches in one form or another but none offered the wide range of possibilities offered by Google.
I was not impressed by the rather severe appearance of the Metacrawler results page.
I really enjoyed reading this blog as you tied up all the different aspects of the same topic by using the various google options.
