Good Internet Information Search Engines
These sites are excellent for searching on specific topics you may be writing about at the moment. Be warned...turn off your browser's ``auto-load images" if you don't want to be deluged with slow loads and advertisements shouting at you!
- Starting Point. Choose your own search engine according to what you are searching for. Live searches here for all major search engines. Good starting point.
- Hotbot. Winner of PC Computing's Search Engine test. Great key word research tool and a definite bookmark. Often more accessible than AltaVista or Yahoo.
- Northern Light. A new favorite. Uses folders on the left margin to help you refine your search. Searches multiple engines.
- Profusion. Another new favorite. Created by the University of Kansas.
- AltaVista. A definite bookmark for research. Key word searches of everything on the Web. (read the Advanced Help to make searching more effective)
- Yahoo! The classic resource for locating Net sites on many topics. Not a key word search engine, but a hierarchical index. A definite bookmark, but sometimes busy and hard to reach.
- Lycos: Catalog of the Internet A very good resource. Check its Picture and Audio search sections.
- Open Text/Live Link. Scroll past a long list of back-patting to get to the search engine. It's a good one.
- December's List of Internet Resources One of the originals. More of a directory.
- Gopher Jewels Collection of worthwhile and interesting sites.
