Beyond Google!

I must admit that I am a Google user, and rarely used any other search engine. I was intrigued by the Bing vs.Google option, so I gave it a try. Searching these side by side was eye opening; I found Bing to be more user friendly. While search results for each were fairly similar,the layout for Bing appeared more simplistic. I will be sharing Bing with my mother-in-law, who is new to the internet. Carrot2 was an absolute GREAT find, especially the "tree" options. This search engine helps the user to think beyond their original search; which opens up all types possibilities. I will be using Carrot2 to assist me in thinking" outside the box".
