Clusty is a whole new way to search the web. Clusty queries several top search engines, combines the results, and generates an ordered list based on comparative ranking. This "metasearch" approach helps raise the best results to the top and push search engine spam to the bottom.

I like this one for kid useability, but don't like that it doesn't really explain WHY it selects the appropriate tools that it does. Oh well, efficient.

Although this doesn't really TEACH the skills for better searching, it DOES help students quickly find specific tools. Very friendly for kids.

Very good for teachers who want a teachable method (acronym included!) for teaching themselves as well as students how to do better online searches. Very friendly layout and treatment. Examples geared more toward teachers.

Run two search engines at the same time

how do you use the Google search box to get just the right amount of information, analyze it for authenticity, and get it quickly? The new Google Search Lessons are aimed at helping teachers and students learn the inside scoop about skillful searching. Check out nine compelling and practical lessons for students to understand and be successful with the Google search process. The lessons are divided into three modules; Understanding Search Engines, Search Techniques and Strategies, and Search Features. Each topic contains three lessons that build on the skills taught in the previous lesson. Teachers can mix and match lessons depending on the skills they want to emphasize. The lessons provide a guide for teachers, inquiry questions, a slide presentation, and search challenges for students.
