Nettrekker vs. Google

I think that Nettrekker is the better search engine over Google. Google might come up with more results but Nettrekker is better because it helps you narrow your results and it gives you ratings which helps you to find better sites faster. Nettrekker was the site that returned more revelant information to me than Google did. Nettrekker is way easier to use because you are in a more refined site and you aren't out on the world wide web. I tried all the things suggested like the dictionary and the subjectheadings and they prove that Nettrekker is better than Google because it helps you to refine your research and find more revalant information.
I tried the I'm feeling lucky button and other things like that but I still like Nettrekker better. When I mispelled my search items Netterkker came up with better things to fix it and more keywords. The rating system on Nettrekker is really nice because it helps you to find information faster because you might not look at a 2 star sight oyu would probably lokk at a 5 star sight.

Nettrekker Strenghts Weaknesses
Rating System Not that many sites
Narrow Information
Faster than Google

Google Strengths Weaknesses
Get lots of results Slower
No rating system
Gives information not needed

So the big question is - will you use NetTrekker the next time you have a school research project or will you revert back to Google?

Can you provide some example sites that show evidence to back up your views?
