refine (in multi-national languages).

www.einet.net Galaxy searches titles,
texts and is proud of it's specificity for your search.
google.com Google is another engine
born at Stanford (ditto Yahoo & Excite) ranks results both on popularity and search
phrase matching; RK recommends for indepth searches.

--and the most comprehensive on the Web IMHO.

www.hotbot.com HotBot uses parallel
processing technology to index; now relies on Yahoo, lyGO and MSN, primarily, for results.
infomine.ucr.edu Infomine has multiple
database searching; it's an "academic" engine zooming in on scholarly resources,
electronic journals/books, online library card catalogs, researchers' directories.

www.jayde.com Jayde appears to be
declining in effectiveness.
www.looksmart.com LookSmart

www.lycos.com Lycos offers much beyond
the Web; uses a "LiveWire" agent technology to rank sites, then allows you to
vote on the usefulness of results. (multi-national languages); we note it also offers
e-mail following in the Yahoo and Google success with same.
www.mamma.com Mamma a "Meta
Engine" which sends your query to Yahoo, AltaVista, Infoseek, and more
simultaneously. Like Smucker's™: with a name like that-- it's gotta be good! It was
likely the inspiration for Google, pre-dating and is still a good crawler!
To
Top
home.netscape.com Netscape
has apparently merged with AOL (yawn) which is like a death knoll: having pulled member
web sites without notification. We suspect Geocities (who was acquired by Yahoo a few
years back, to unceremoniously pull member sites for smiliar reasons.
www.northernlight.com Northern
Light is one of many who is adapting format in order to survive.
rex.skyline.net Rex is apparently
having maintenance problems when we checked it June 6, 2009. We empathize.

www.scrubtheweb.com ScrubTheWeb
includes a meta tag analyzer, handy for web-sters! Also has joined the e-mail
band wagon.
whatuseek.com WhatUSeek relied on
other engines, mostly those in decline. Don't expect much.
www.yahoo.com Yahoo! (You Always Have
Other Options) makes ya' wonder what can be said about these guys whose name's now
synonymous with SEARCH (multi-national languages). My kids started with it --and are loyal
despite Google's superiority in ease of use.
