5. What are some benefits of using a database instead of a search engine? The information is safe. You do not have to worry if it is accurate or not because all of the material is checked before it is put in the database to make sure it comes from a reliable source. Easier to search than the Internet. An Internet search engine searches the whole Internet. An Internet search can give you too much information and it might not be specific enough.
