No one site is good for every search. Search engines like Hotbot and Alta Vista are better for very specific information. Metasearch sites like Dogpile and Metacrawler cast the net a little wider on searches for specific information by using more than one search engine.
Most search engines do a poor job when seeking out a single word.
Increase the number of words to increase the scope of your search. THAT PAYS Enter the two words Strawberry Fields in a search box, and you could get results as diverse as W. C. Fields and strawberry shortcake. Metacrawler and others provide phrase searching as an option. When checking out results, view them in a new browser window so you can quickly return to the results page without clicking the browser's Back button. In most browsers, you can open a link in a new browser window by holding down the Shift key while clicking on the link.
