Search Engines
- Alta Vista accesses over 30
million webpages and 14,000 usenet newsgroups, advanced searching available. An excellent
tool for exhaustive and precise searches. Can include many duplicates.
- Ask Jeeves is a good beginner's site. Helps you
narrow your search.
- Dogpile does a metasearch of 13 search engines and
sorts the results by search engine. A good method to determine whcih engine works best for
you.
- Excite is good for broad, general topics in news
headlines, sports scores and copany information.
- HotBot accesses over 50 million websites, expert
searching available. An excellent tool for precise searches. Easy to use.
- Infoseek not so good for web pages, but good for
news & usenet postings.
- Internet Sleuth 3,000-strong collection of
specialized databases - web pages, news, etc. Excellent for highly specialized searches.
- Lycos is a search engine accessing over 50
million web, gopher and ftp urls. (searches for your search terms in the first 20
lines of text and the 100 most "weighty" words within each document). Web
searches can produce checkered results.
- MetaCrawler is a wonderful metasearch engine,
which allows access to nine different search engines simultaneously. Good for a quick
survey, not for precision searches
- Northern Light searches web pages, pay-per-view
articles from periodicals and books. Sorts results by topic headings.
- Yahoo is a popular, well maintained subject index
and search engine. It is best for broad topics. Returns too many irrelevant results.
