My husband loves it.  He said it is more advanced for videos and music and such, but I haven't "played" with that aspect of it yet.  I've only casually strolled around, but it seems pretty cool.  I did some image searches for a project and was pleasantly surprised at everything I got back.  I guess you just gotta get in there and see what it can do for you!  Have fun!

Teresa,

Thanks,

It is not a research kind of search engine.  It might be good for booking travel, shopping on the Internet, and getting pictures and videos, but not for anything else.  Google is still the best thing there is on the internet to find whatever you need for writing or for doing research.

I have the Live search engine which automatically becomes Bing when I use it. It's all Microsoft. Smiley I also have Google's search bar. Those are the only two I have. But you can also goto yahoo, and use them, I know ICQ has one too. It's best to have a couple, that way if you can't find something on one you can try another one.

Becca,

Depending on what I am researching I have various search engines, but most times I start with Google. I just go with the ones that produce what I want to find
