About AlltheWeb

• Index and News search is provided by Yahoo, but you do not have to be a registered Yahoo user in order to search.

• Frequent scans ensure “fresh” content and eliminate broken links.

• Searching in 36 different languages is supported.• It does not serve ads using 3rd party advertising

networks and does not allow 3rd party ad network cookies to be served from its domain.

What does that mean for me?• All students can access this

search tool from school and home.

• Eliminates frustration of students searching only to find broken links.

• Could be used by foreign language teachers to supplement text.

• Fewer shop and ebay results.• Therefore, AlltheWeb can

be used as an excellent learning partner.
