And sometimes discovering new things happens by accident. So it was when I discovered a new search engine with the unlikely name Million Short.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I was reading a well-researched and well-written article about conspiracy theories and why some otherwise smart people are so wont to believe even the most bizarre of these theories. And in the article, he mentioned that he uses Million Short to do journalistic research claiming it is more customizable than Google and he gets better more accurate search results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Whether or not it&#8217;s better than Google is a matter of personal preference. I tried Million Short and while I am not ready to say it&#8217;s better than Google, it is better than many of the other search engines I&#8217;ve tried. And I can tell you that search engines, like browsers,\u00a0 are personal choices. You should always use the one that works best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Am I going to switch from Google to Million Short? Probably not. But I will make Million Short my alternate search engine. It is very good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Here&#8217;s some information from Million Short.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Discover<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Join the millions who are choosing a better search experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You&#8217;re a Million Short of your next discovery!

But think about your Internet search habits. Notice anything? No options. No control. Internet search has failed to keep up with the fast-paced evolution of other technologies. Instead, search has stagnated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Think about it: when was the last time you were truly excited by a new Google search feature? It\u2019s probably easier to remember the last time you were frustrated by the number of ads you had to sift through to get the results you were searching for. If you\u2019re a small business owner or entrepreneur, it\u2019s probably easier to remember the last time you were frustrated by the way that Google\u2019s SEO rules felt stacked against you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Search is not a solved problem. That\u2019s why we created Million Short \u2014 to remedy the lack of Internet search options and to give users greater control over their online search experience&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Instead, our status-quo search tools have&#8230; given us filter bubbles and echo chambers. Even worse, the companies that we\u2019ve trusted as the custodians of our online experience have continually proven themselves unworthy of that trust&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Every individual should have the right to explore the world wide web on their own terms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A tremendous opportunity is before us.
