Both search engines gave me useful links and site for information pertaining to my subject however the millions of results returned by Google was a big difference to the copernic search. Some results were similar. Copernic game me options on how to sort the results by score, date, site visited etc. Of note to me was that wikipedia scored in both searches. Interesting.

Both search engines gave useful information although googles extra search options at the bottom of the page were useful if I were looking for something specific like images, quotes, characters etc.
