Surprisingly, Google isn’t the best research tool on the web. There are hundreds of search engines out there, many of which are much better for the job at hand. All you have to do is Google ’search engines’!
However, for a different take on search why not try Copernic Agent instead? Copernic Agent (available from www.copernic.com) has major advantages over Google:
- Uses hundreds of search engines from around the world
- Uses a simple point and click to select countries of interest
- Ranks search results by relevence
- De-duplicates identical hits from multiple search engines
- Saves your search results allowing you to record your tracks
- Can be set up to let you know when a web site has changed
If you combine the above with Google Translate or BabelFish you can get machine translations of foreign language web sites. Although not accurate they allow you to get a sense of what is being said. You can arrange a more accurate translation later on.
Note that the Google Translate is also magic for helping kids with their French homework. You too can be a ‘homework hero’ in dozens of languages. Beware, it doesn’t yet do Latin!
