Search Engine Dilema


In total disbelievement last week all of our Apple devices stopped opening Google; reporting a  404 Forbidden message.    The chaos and annoyance that has since followed shows just how reliant we are on using technology.     If anyone knows how to fix the error I would be grateful for any advice.  However what it has highlighted is that without prejudice we have become Google snobs.  It is our search engine, calendar, drive, emails - Its our way of communicating and without it as teachers we are lost.   The same is true for our students.  We have downloaded an iPad app that allows access to a variety of search engines but our students are finding it difficult to use.
What serach engines do educators use with students?
Do we need to be teaching and using more than one search engine?
