There's more to it then just Google?

Surfing the web to me used to mean just Google but there seems to be so many more options.  The idea of Google alone always amazed me, how this tool could search so much information and be able to narrow down the results so eloquently.  After reading Chapter 2 I looked into the other search engine options.


The search engines differentiate the return results by how they determine the "keyword match type."  For my personal uses Google remains the engine of choice as they utilize more of a broad word matching system.  In simple terms if I am looking up a combination of blue trucks Google will dissect this search and search for blue and truck and blue truck.  Where as Bing will only look for the keyword match of blue trucks.  Of course using Boolean operators within your search removes this issue, for example blue and trucks.

In my search for information on the Google giant I found the following link http://techchunks.com/technology/35-interesting-but-lesser-known-facts-about-google-the-search-engine-king/ which provides 35 interesting little known facts about Google.  Did you know the Google pro-type was called "BackRub".  Good call on changing the name!
