I don't really find that a problem. I couldn't navigate myself through noaa.gov and all I used was google and still placed 1st. Does being able to navigate through from the home page really matter?
somtimes it does google is a good start but things are often not listed by obvious serch terms

I learned when I did compute this that going over and making tests are key if you want to be successful in that event.

Using Google could work, but you'd have to find the specific CDC site that you got the information on. So I usually avoid using Google until I've spent enough time looking for the answer just by using the website.

I rarely ever use CDC's search engine. Google usually gives me better information when I search it up.

Google does give good information, but it also gives you lots of other information too.
...actually, the website's search engine also gives you lots of other information. I guess it's kind of the same...

The website's search engine either doesn't give enough, or gives useless information from what I've seen.

Maybe I'm just different....I seem to find that it's about the same with either search engine. Huh.

Is being in disease detectives a major advantage in compute this, or does it not matter?
