Search Engines

Some fine places to start...

Search Engine Watch: Search Engine News, Search Engine Tips and more about search engines
Excellent site for an overview of the many different search engines on the web.
Introduction to Search Engines
UNDERSTANDING AND COMPARING SEARCH ENGINES

Go to Netscape http://www.netscape.com/
Select NetSearch for selection of search engines

WebCrawler http://www.webcrawler.com

Yahoo http://www.yahoo.com
A human compiled directory of websites. Very good for broad general topics, but often returns many irrelevant results

HotBot http://www.hotbot.com
The search site of Wired magazine. Excellent for finding specific information. With extra effort can construct precise search queries.

AltaVista http://www.altavista.net
Excellent for precise searches. Similar to HotBot, though a bit harder to construct queries initially - 'til the mastery stage.

AOL NetFind http://www.aol.com/netfind/
AOL NetFind is a branded-version of the Excite search engine in the US and Canada. It has a different name and a different look, but it is basically Excite underneath.

Electric Library http://www3.elibrary.com/id/250/250/

Lycos http://www.lycos.com
Lycos is one of the more popular search services, despite having a small index that is more out-of-date than its competitors. While its search engine listings are weak, Lycos does feature an impressive directory of web sites called Lycos Community Guides.

Dogpile http://www.dogpile.com
A metasearch site that can go through 13 web search engines. While not the most useful for specifics, can be an excellent way to determine which search engine works best for you.

Ask Jeeves http://www.askjeeves.com
Ask Jeeves is a human-powered search service that aims to direct you to the exact page thatanswers your question. If it fails to find a match within its own database, then it will provide matching web pages from various search engines.

Northern Light http://www.nlsearch.com

Internet Sleuth http://www.isleuth.com

Infoseek http://www.infoseek.com

Excite http://www.excite.com
Good for searches on broad general topics.

Metacrawler http://www.metacrawler
A metasearch site that searches several search engines simultaneously. Excellent for quick results, but not as many options for more precise searches.

LookSmart http://www.looksmart.com
LookSmart is the closest rival Yahoo has, in terms of being a human-compiled directory of the web. In addition to being a stand-alone service, LookSmart provides directory results to both AltaVista and HotBot.

MSN (Microsoft) http://www.msn.com/
Microsoft's MSN service features both directory listings and search engine results, powered by Inktomi. Other search engines are also featured at the service. The service went live in October 1998 with its Inktomi results, although it had existed in various formats and under different names previously.
