quite a few people pay search engines...

They don't pay to search, they pay to market on search engines. If your talking about data search engines such as LexusNexus then that is different and doesn't even compare to MSN or Google.

so you basicly believe that all search engines are the same?

Exactly the opposite. I'm saying they're all different and your better off using the combination of all than the results of one.

Are you not saying that in your opinion that dogpile is superior....then you're saying one search engine is better than another...

You must be a political major as you spun everything i said into something it isn't. Dogpile is a Meta search engine, compiling results of many other search engines. Dogpile is a recommendation of a meta search i would recommend for educational reasons that a) doesn't cost a dime b) isn't culturally, politically or fiscally tied to any one persuasion.

you can't have it both ways...

not following you here. Post A generalized MSN is costing education and tax payers money. I stated it isn't (and doesn't) and that if you want to get real technical about the usefullness of search engines you really should use all or a comparison of all to combine your data as your teacher would fail you if you just cited one source for your papers as you should be failed if you trust one search engine for your internet research.
