1) The organizations that produce this site are:
HHS Clearinghouses
Federal agencies
State agencies
2)This site
-Has a database for diseases, conditions, and injuries
- Also has a list of Rx drugs
I think that since these two subjects are on the front page, they are the main purpose of the site.
3) I would highly recommend this site for the database of diseases, conditions, and injuries, and also the list of Rx drugs. However I would not recommend it as a search engine because when I typed in two searches, I didn't get many results. I got 2 results for Medula and 10 results for Parkinson's which I didn't feel was enough. However, the searches that I did were pretty much all related to the subject I typed in the search.

I couldn't find any. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right places?
2) looking at the front page of the site I could already tell the main focus of the site was anything related to science. I thought that the links on the front page are very helpful because if you press the link it does a search of that subject. I also liked how the site has articles and magazines that you could just press the link to and it automatically searches for the latest "science" news updates.
3) I Liked some of the features that I mentioned about this site, but I would not recommend this site because it looks like a very plain search engine. I think that since it is so plain that no one would probably take the time to really search on that engine because they would probably get bored of the site just by looking at the front page.

Good analysis. The main purpose of the exercise was to get you familiar with various ways to limit your web search results. Some search engines do a much better job of this than others, and some are specialized so you get a more focused search.
