It also gave me the current weather. Neither Bing nor Yahoo gives part of an actual article on the results page like Google does.  Here are the search engines for you to check out:  https://duckduckgo.com/ https://www.wolframalpha.com/ http://www.dogpile.com/ http://www.ask.com/ https://www.kiddle.co/ https://afjh.alpineschools.org/ Use this link to get into Utah's Online Library, called Pioneer Online Library on our school website.
