Advanced Search Engine: Better than Google Advanced Search?

[Guest guest]

Hi Sean,

 

Today, I read a report on WWW about the two biggest search

engines - Google versus . The reporter scored as

better, but added that Google will upgrade its engine soon to match

's new facilities..

 

I had a look at the Advanced Search Page at:

http://search./search/options?fr=fp-top & p=

 

It is most impressive, and has several features that Google does

not offer yet.

 

1. The most notable advantage is that allows users to define

[in each search box] where one wants the search words to be.

Google offers that facility for the whole search only, not the

individual components of the search.

 

2. also lets users pick MULTIPLE source languages for the

desired pages. For example, hold down the SHIFT key and tick

Chinese, Polish and Japanese to select those languages. Google

only let one select ONE language.

 

3. also has a " Date of Update " Filter, to allow users to

select recent updates.

 

Take a look, and compare with www.google.com/advanced_search

 

If you agree with me that has the edge, you could send a

note (or an expanded version of this note) to all staff to alert them

to put the Advanced Search Page [

http://search./search/options?fr=fp-top & p= ] into the

Bookmarks/Favorites folder in which they store their Search

Engines options.

 

Happy new year. I hope that you had a great holiday.

 

 

 

Best regards,
