Assignment Eleven

I have almost always used Google to search for everything so assignment 11 was a really good exercise in learning features of some of the other major search engines. Each of the four subjects I searched turned up a wide range in number of results and differing ranking of the sites on all the search engines. I like the way Bing.com works so as a result of the assignment I will be using it more often.
