If you’re itching to try an alternative to www.google.com for your web searches, then try www.answers.com. This site doesn’t just spew out links to other web sites… it can often answer a question without having to send you to another site. The site references over 100 encyclopedias, dictionaries and other resources. You’ll find that some searches produce the same results of google, while others produce more information than links (like definitions and other explanations).
