Assignment 9 Search Engines

1. My search goal

I want to let many foreigner know best places in Korea. So, I want to find some information about travel of Korea.




2.Which key words you used and why.

- My key words is "travel of Korea" and "Seoul trip". At first, I searched "tavel of south Korea" but I didn't found specific sites. They only provide general information about Korea. So I narrowed my topic and searched again.

4. which tools gave the best (most relevant and reliable) information.


Most search engines provided similar resources.
Among them I think "ixquick" is best for search my topic.
It is very attractive to serch because I felt as if I can see a whole resources at a galance.
Also, the blue star are very useful to select information in a short time.
