Searching for Something?

Do remember the time before Google, Yahoo, Alta Vista? How did we find anything on the web? Search engines have certainly made the Internet the way it is today, and without it the world wide web just wouldn't have been functional. Today there are all sorts of search engines, some that even search ethically! Below is a list of some of the most innovative ones.

GOOSHING
GOOSHING is a shopping site that allows you to search for items from ethical companies at the cheapest price. According to the website's about page, GOOSHING is brought to you by

The Ethical Company Organisation, who first published The Good Shopping Guide – which has become the world’s leading ethical shopping reference authority.

Multicolr Search Lab
The Multicolr Search Lab allows users to find various pictures of the same color. For example if I was looking for a pink picture I would click on the exact shade that I wanted and the search engine would display various pictures with pink as the dominate color:


Ecocho
According to the Ecocho website,

Ecocho is a new search engine trying to make a difference for climate change. For every 1000 searches users make on Ecocho they counter balance or "offset" a ton of greenhouse gases. They do this by sponsoring two trees via advertising on the site.

Basically Ecocho has partnered with Yahoo to provide users with an easy to use search engine. But the cool part is that while you search you can also help save the planet!

Searchme
Searchme allows users to conduct visual searches.

In the above picture I searched for Yoga and searchme automatically displayed the search results in a mini screenshot form. I think this search tool is especially useful for visual learners.
