Find the Best is an interesting approach to web search. Find the Best calls itself a “comparison engine.” The idea is to provide users with a way to quickly compare multiple websites, reference materials, products, and services.

Here’s how it works; select a category, choose a sub-category, then select the things you would like to compare in that sub-category. Find the Best will display your chosen comparison items on one easy-to-read page. I tested Find the Best by choosing the education category, then world country facts, then four countries I wanted to compare. Find the Best worked well for finding some basic facts on one page about the four countries I chose to compare. See my results here.

It’s not going to replace your favorite search engine anytime soon, but Find the Best could be a good little resource for students to use when they need to quickly find some basic information about a topic.
