"Though the general Google site is often touted as the number one search engines online, college students sometimes need more specific tools to help them uncover quality information on the Web that they can use for class projects, research papers, and even job and apartment searches. This list features a huge variety of search engines that can be useful to students, including tools that find photos, sound effects, summer internships, health and medical information, reference guides, and a lot more."

"Today, many users are so reliant on search that it's undermining their problem-solving abilities. Ironically, the better search gets, the more dangerous it gets as people increasingly assume that whatever the search engine coughs up must be the answer."

TinEye is a "reverse" search engine: you upload an image file, and it finds all the places on the Internet where that same photo (or a lightly altered version) has been found. This can be useful if you are looking for the original version of a picture (rather than someone's repost).
