Alta Vista

Although Alta Vista has been around for a while it doesn't have the popularity of other search engines such as Yahoo, Ask, and Google. Alta Vista has an edge over the competition because it allows you to search in all languages. You can also use Alta Vista to search in English and Spanish only. Another thing that makes Alta Vista unique is that it is the only search engine I have found with a dedicated music search. This gives instant access to the latest hits and your favorite music.

The cons of Alta Vista are simple. Because it offers so much, Alta Vista tends to be more slow than other engines. It is also not as precise. It can take time to find the right answers among numerous results. I would recommend Alta Vista to anyone who is interested in international studies.
