From this exercise and other experience I have had with search engines and search tools, it seems Google is still the first place of call to conduct a search. To some experts and Internet enthusiasts it has become a concern to a degree that one search engine is such a dominant force in the search engine space. The danger being that if we all get our information from the same source; our skills, knowledge and learning opportunities may be stunted.
