New Search Engine -- Not a Keeper
Wisblawg notes a new search engine, one with an animated librarian to ask questions to guide your search.  The librarian -- whose name is Ms. Dewey -- is sometimes patient and even insulting; I think she threw something at me one time.  

According to Forbes, the “site, put together by San Francisco-based design shop Evolution Bureau, is part of a Microsoft ad campaign, according to the company, although Microsoft is not currently mentioned anywhere on the site.”

My search efforts with Ms. Dewey were not successful.  I asked for information about identifying bugs that have been hovering around my house lately.  The first result was an ad from an exterminator.  The other results were difficult to read and I had trouble scrolling the other results. 

I strongly recommend that everyone use more than one search engine and not limit your efforts to Google.  That said, I probably won’t add Ms. Dewey to my list of favorite search engines, but check it out anyway.
