beneficial to use more than one search engine on a regular
basis.
GOOGLE:
Google Instant is a search enhancement that shows results as
you type. It is designed to predict a person's
search by updating the page and showing results while you
type.It is a time-saving feature.
Because the page is changing as you type this can sometimes
cause problems for screen reader users. You may
find a link on the page that reads "Screen reader users, click
here to turn off Google Instant."
If you choose this link it makes your searches using a screen
reader much easier.Google also provides easy-to-use search
tools.
E.G:Weather Chicago,25 kilometers in miles:it converts
kilometers to miles,seafood restaurants etc..
YAHOO:
Yahoo is another search engine that many people use. The main
Yahoo! page also has more information on it,
such as sports and news headlines, entertainment links, and
links to many other items.
This tends to cause the page to appear more cluttered than the
Google site, but may prove itself useful to you as
well.

3. One drawback to searching on Yahoo is it will often bring up
unsignificant webpages related to your topic, such as
personal homepages or outdated websites in addition to the
more serious or commercial website(s) on your topic.
