Module 4 - Search Engine Task

Using 'Google' I performed a search for advanced internet users as suggested. The search resulted in a total of 111,000,000 sites in 0.22 seconds. The first five are as follows:

Web Results 1 - 10 of about 111,000,000 for advanced internet users. (0.22 seconds)

Task 2

Using Copernica agent basic, I set it up with 4 search engines, and performed the same search as before, i.e. "advanced internet users". Here is a screen shot of the first five as there was no 'copy/paste' facility.



This time, the search took longer - 15 seconds, but only revealed up to 42 sites. Not as impressive as the first search in google, but then many of the sites in google moved away from the topic as I looked down the list to 110,000,999.The first one in both searches was identical and probably the most useful.
