My three search engines were google, yahoo and aol, I'm familiar with all of these search engines. My topic was Feminism, all three had similar results like wikipedia, britannica sites and etc. Most of the search engine had more history sites on them than the other ones. Most were dedicated to knowing the meaning of Feminism and protests towards feminism. This topic was very interesting as well. What type of other Search Engines did you use?
