After comparing the search tools (Google and lexisnexis), personally i still prefer Google.
Why i like Google?
1) People stopped using wiki although it's content is very helpful, however, due to it's reliability, people tends to use another search tool like Google or Yahoo.
2) To me, Google is the best as it's fast and accurate and fulfils my needs. Google shows me the answer to everything i searched for. We can probably get the results just by around 5-10 seconds.
The statistics of the various search engines
3) Nowadays, majority of the people stopped using Internet Explorer and started using Google Chrome. While using Google chrome, we can just basically type in the keywords into the URL box. Hence, Google is more convenient in carrying out the searches.
How to search using Google search engine?
E.g. My topic is serious emotional disturbance, i will just need to enter "Serious Emotional Disturbance".

After entering the keywords "Serious Emotional Disturbance", it will automatically go to the page where the results are shown.

This component of Google helps us a lot as people; like me, doesn't like inconvenience and the hassle to go to the actual site of Google. Hence, this help save us the hassle and allow us to carry out the research easily.

Google search allow us to obtain the results within 0.55 seconds per results. Approximately about 3 million of results are found.
*The speed and amount of results found are according to the topic that you're carrying out the research.
And besides searching for the sites, there's a component that allow us to search for only images.

What if you haven't key in the key words/you haven't carry out the search?
We can actually go to the actual site of Google and click on the "images" as shown above. This tool-bar is located at the top of site. After clicking on the "Images" button, we can just simply enter the keywords.
The next page we will see will be:

The images that are relevant to your topic/keywords will be shown as the results.
When our mouse hover over the image, the image will be zoomed in and allow us to see the description of the image.
E.g
It will pop up with it's format, site's link and the size with description.
We can even search the images we want by:
- Colour
- Sizes
- Large, Medium or small; - Types
- Face, Photo, Clip Art or Line drawing;
By having these components in aiding us to search for the images we want, i believe that it will allow us to carry out our searches more efficiently and conveniently.
These are some examples of carrying out the search while using their features. Overall i prefer Google due to it's convenience and also, it can search through worldwide for informations not just one site alone. And many of the results are more reliable when you searched using the "news" component - it will tell you when the article is released and by who it is released (which company). Therefore, it make it's reliability of this article assured. Google also have everything in just a site, e.g. Emails, Calendars, Images, News. We don't need to go from a site to another just to use other special features.
Why the majority of the people would choose Google instead of other search engines?
Basically the most simplest reason in choosing Google instead of other search engines like Lexis is because Google is FREE. By having this free search engine which enable us to do things more than a other normal search engine which usually have no images search tool, why should we get ourselves registered with another search engine which might need to cost us some money? Yes, some people might preferred themselves to register for another search engine and they believed that the search engine will be much more easy or efficient to use. However, the search engine that you used might not give you what you want and the cost that you pay for it might be wasted as it does not seems to be what you thought of it. And usually Google takes just a few seconds to provide answers and fulfil whatever we want to search for. So, why not?
And since the other advanced search engine needs money, hence, lesser people will use that engine. And when we register ourselves to it, we might not be able to understand how to use that tool, hence, wasting our time and cost on that tool.
Why not Yahoo?
Yahoo have only four features while Google has more than that. Yahoo can only search for web, images, videos or news. However, Google can search for more things like maps, places, books. And with it features by segregating the images that Google have found on other sites into it's type, colour and size, it definitely allow us to carry out our search much more faster than having to type e.g. "Blue sunflower". Instead, we can just type, "sunflower" and go to the colour box and click on blue, the results will definitely be blue sunflowers.
Why not Lexisnexis?
One of the most important point of lexisnexis is not free, we have to pay for using. And the results that we search using our keywords might not be relevant. Lastly, the results given are not as fast how Google gives. Google can give us an instant result with only 0.55 seconds per results or even faster.
