MODULE 4 - Search Engine Task

.

My usual search engine is Google so I used that for this task as well as my newly downloaded Copernic searcher. I searched for the AMP Credit Union.

.

Google - The first hit was dead on. There were about 304,000 hits.

Copernic - The first hit was for AMP shares, not the actual AMP Credit Union website and there were 68 hits. I wasn't able to copy these hits as I did with the Google list so I've just listed the actual URL's.

Differences - The biggest difference was obviously the number of hits. Google had 304,000 and Copernic only had 68. The other major difference was what the first hits were. Google was dead on with the AMP Credit Union website whereas the other one had an unrealated site that only had AMP Shares to sell. However, rather than sift through 300,000 odd hits, Copernic's 68 was more efficient and would be much more quicker and the AMP website was in the first 5 hits.
