Default Searach engine?


Good morning all-

When searching for new plants online, what is your favorite search engine?
For example, if I wanted to expand my Paphinia collection and see what's out
there, where would you search besides Google under Paphinia?

Thanks

I like Wikipedia, & I use J. Pfahl's Encyclopedia a lot for research.

I search using Clusty http://clusty.com/ , a cluster search engine plus
visit the sites used by Wendy.

Try typing Paphinia into Clusty and you'll see a different type of search
result.

I use GOOGLE Image, as you probably do also. That gives a wide range
of plants and I can dig into any one I like. Then I check it out on
Orchid Wiz.

If you add the word "price" to the end of a search string in Google, it
often returns places where you can acquire the searched item.

When I have used the word "Price" and didn't find much, I have taken
away price and added the phrase (In quotes) "Add to cart". That also
tends to find pages that are actually selling things.
