Explain steps you take to complete an internet search. Do you use a particular search engine every time or do you alternate? How do you determine if a source is credible.

First you need to formulate your search request, then you need to choose search engine which is best optimized. I suggest you to choose the most popular search engines. Then input your request and find suitable source. If your search engine is good, you'll possibly find what you need on the first page.

I define the best search engine by popularity and user-friendly interface.
