The Utility of Search Engines

Without a doubt, Google is the most used search engine in the United States. But for those who might be concerned with Google's privacy policy, there are a few good alternatives for professionals which are worth looking into.Some of them even make a specific focus on privacy, in addition to striving for good quality of search results.

What are search engines? They are simply websites that store data from other sites. Users use a browser of their choice to navigate to them. The relevance of the results a search engine provides determines its usefulness.

Recently, testing has been done to determine the most useful search engine for accounting practice. Below you will find all the search engines that were included in this test. It scored their ability of generating useful results on accounting topics when compared to a “control” search on Google.

The chosen topics were revenue recognition, lease accounting, qualified business income deduction, non-GAAP measures, and Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 199A. Best results were considered those that included professional journal articles, hope pages for SEC, FASB, IRS and other regulators or standards setters.

Bing

The second most popular search engine in the U.S. is Bing, dogpile which is Microsoft's way of competing with Google. The most popular email provider is Yahoo, which actually uses Bing, making it's usage higher. For users of Word Online, OneDrive and other online versions of Microsoft Office tools, Bing makes a wonderful alternative, since they can access their accounts from Bing's homepage.

The search results generated by Bing were good and included government agencies, professional bodies and publications. Suggestions for related searches was also good. Same as Google, Bing generated a lot of Wikipedia or Investopedia links and unbubble advertisements for commercial sites.

DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo, is all about privacy. It doesn't track users, store their personal data, dog duck nor target advertisements to them. DuckDuckGo uses Bing and other search engines to generate results while giving anonymity to the user.

The search results did lead with advertisements (this was the only search engine to do that), as well as Wikipedia or Investopedia links.It didn't offer any optional search terms but it did retrieve the best variety of on-point results. Overall it provided good results from from professional sources, even a few that Bing didn't capture.

StartPage

StartPage also advertises itself as “the world's most private search engine.” It used to be known as “IxQuick”, a search engine that used Google without Google's tracking.From the three search engines tested, StartPage and DuckDuckGo were the most security conscious. Startpage provided the best results view when using mobile devices.

Final Comparison

When comparing the three reviewed search engines, the largest number of results were returned by DuckDuckGo.StartPage and Bing both produced interesting professional accounting research results. Their mobile versions were even easier to use than the desktop-based versions.

Prepare before seeing a doctor

A simple rural-patient checklist to help you explain symptoms clearly, ask better questions, and avoid unsafe self-treatment.

Safety note: This is not a prescription or diagnosis. For severe symptoms, pregnancy danger signs, children with serious illness, chest pain, breathing difficulty, stroke-like weakness, or major injury, seek urgent care.

Which doctor may help?

Start with a registered doctor or the nearest qualified health center.

What to tell the doctor

  • Write when the problem started and how it changed.
  • Bring old prescriptions, investigation reports, and current medicines.
  • Write allergies, pregnancy status, diabetes, kidney/liver disease, and major past illnesses.
  • Bring one family member if the patient is weak, elderly, confused, or a child.

Questions to ask

  • What is the most likely cause of my symptoms?
  • Which danger signs mean I should go to hospital quickly?
  • Which tests are necessary now, and which can wait?
  • How should I take medicines safely and what side effects should I watch for?
  • When should I come for follow-up?

Tests to discuss

  • Vital signs: temperature, pulse, blood pressure, oxygen saturation
  • Basic physical examination by a clinician
  • CBC, urine test, blood sugar, or imaging only when clinically needed

Avoid these mistakes

  • Do not use antibiotics, steroid tablets/injections, or strong painkillers without proper medical advice.

  • Do not delay emergency care when danger signs are present.
