  1. You did not follow the instructions for the assignment which were: "Write a post in which you review all eight search engines, what each would be most useful for, how they work, your evaluation of each. Include links so your readers can try them also." You described what they do and in a few cases you talk about what they would be useful for. But you do not do the rest of the assignment. You do have links. Your evaluation is a critical part of this assignment.
