Project#15- search engines
iseek is a search engine that complies hundreds of thousands of authoritative resources from university, government and established noncommercial providers. It provides time-saving intelligent search and a personal web-based library to help you locate the most relevant results immediately and find them quickly later. iseek looks deeper than traditional engines which just skim the surface of the web, to produce the most specific and relevant results available.
American memory is a search engine that provides free and open access through the Internet to written and spoken words, sound recordings still and moving images, prints, maps, and sheet music that document the American experience. American Memory will continue to expand online historical content as an integral component of the library of congress, to harnessing new technology as it fulfills its mission for future generations.

Sortfix is one of the more useful search engines for students because it provides relevant, streamline search results. It does this by analyzing the keywords in the search results. This gives the student the ability to focus on or remove, certain keywords. It declares that Google, Bing, and Yahoo may not always be the best pick for students. It is visually appealing and much more user-friendly for younger users.
QuinturaKids is another great search engine for visual learners and it works like Sortfix. It is a brain stormer for the classroom. It catches the students attention by using words in clouds. The student will click the word and the search is on. It is one of the safest search engines for education.
