Most people prefer to rely on just one or two search engines that deliver three key features:

• Relevant results (results you are actually interested in)
• Uncluttered, easy-to-read interface
• Helpful options to broaden or tighten a search

The search sites we highlight below should meet most of the searching needs of a regular person.

Note: These are mainly web page search engines, but others exist, too, for specific searches. There are search engines just for people, images and, of course, jobs.
