Google, Yahoo and Ask Jeeves are considered (along with MSN) to be the major search engines nowadays. Metasearch engine jux2 allows the user to compare results in all three at once, while the results are grouped according to overlapping between those engines. For example, for the search term "photography", there are 2 links (from the first 10) appearing in all three engines, and just 7 results

The quickest way to find a definition of a word is to search in Google with the keyword define. For example, to look for a meaning of the word haiku (form of a traditional Japanese poetry), we would perform a google search: "define: haiku" Another usefull site is Glossarist.com., which is a categorized dictionary of glossaries - list of word definitions.
