Boolify http://www.boolify.org This is a great way to show students how to use different operators when doing a web search. Boolify utilizes the Google search engine, so it is designed to illustrate Google's search methodology.
Comparison Search http://www.gleancomparisonsearch.org is a site that allows students to compare two different sides to a topic.

Hi Sue,
Thanks so much for mentioning our tools! Glean Comparison Search is brand new, and Boolify is one of our older ones.
Their other companion, Glean Whois (http://www.gleanwhois.org) is also in the works, although the meta-knowledge is a much harder skill to teach (so we're taking additional time to design the instructional resources).
Given your background, please do get in touch (http://www.plml.org/contact) if you'd like to discuss our work, have ideas about how to improve what we do or would like to be a part of things as we build anew!
Cheers + best of luck & fun with your teaching & learning,
--Dave / PLML
