GENERAL SEARCH ENGINES


AOL NetFind http://www.aol.com/netfind/ - AOL NetFind (keyword: NetFind or click on the toolbar) is the most accessible search engine for AOL Members. It is relatively simple cup a tea search engine and the default for AOL members. Basically NetFind is really is EXCITE underneath the covers, but with AOL favors added.

Excite http://www.excite.com/ -This search engine stands out from the rest with excellent, customizable search opinion for advavced queries.

Yahoo! http://www.yahoo.com/ - The largest directory on the Web, YAHOO! has brabded itself as more then a directory since its 1994 Net debut. Currently, the Web "portal" offers an online service (with MCI), chat, news, classifieds, e-mail, and more.

AltaVista: Main Page http://www.altavista.com/ - This search engine one of the most popular search engines on the web (next to yahoo). WOW, what a search engine it is. Using spiders (no Halloween joke) some of which crawl the wed daily, Alta Vista indexes almost every word of every site it visits- perhaps as many as 50 million sites. DO TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN IT, however or stick to something less complex like Netfind.

HotBot http://www.hotbot.com/ - Hotbot is from WIRED magazine (AOL Keyword: WIRED), and as you might expect, it's the most graphical search engine of them all. A useful feature here lets users search specifically for audio and video and images online.

Infoseek http://www.infoseek.com/ -Combines a powerful search engine (such as Lycos and Alta Vista) with a very large Web directory (such as Yahoo!).

Lycos Home Page http://www.lycos.com/ - Lycos offers two powerfyl engines levels of seaching: basic and custom. An excellant search engine and very good laid out.

Welcome to Magellan! http://www.mckinley.com/ - This is my the same folks who bring you Excite, is yet another combination site, with both a Web directory and a search engine.
Magellan's special claim to fame is the fact that you can screen out adult-orientad sites with the Green Light feature (see box check on search).

LookSmart - exploring World http://www.looksmart.com/ - Similar in desigh at Yahoo!, this site also offers a directory of Web sites. Its simple, straight-forward layout may be easier to navigate tham those of its competitors.

Ask Jeeves http://www.askjeeves.com/ and Ask Jeeves for Kids http://www.ajkids.com/ - Just as the question and click "Ask!"

MEGA SEARCH ENGINES

There are some search engines that save you alot of time and get more results then the single engines above. These are MegaSearch sites. These engines use one or more of the above engines that integrate the results. Here are some I found.

the Internet's best search engines, databases, indexes, and directories in a single site. The ALL-IN-ONE starting point for Internet searching!

Search The Internet with The Internet Sleuth
Internet Sleuth-- http://www.isleuth.com
The Internet Sleuth is a bit different from the other search engines you might have used. While Alta Vista or Lycos attempt to index the entire Web The Sleuth maintains an index of searchable databases, most of which can be searched directly from The Sleuth, simplifying the search for information.

Fax Numbers - Mamma.com Mamma: The Mother of all Search Engines - http://www. mamma.com/ In 1996 we got the idea to provide a smart meta search tool for content retrieval on the World Wide Web.
