Search the web! Courtesy of Fravia and Greythorne |
|
I have shamelessly borrowed the following search lists from Fravia and Greythorne and some other sites. Fravia encourages this for people to advance their search endeavors while I am unsure to Greythorne's thoughts on the subject. They both had something that the other didn't and for my personal purposes I combined, resorted, and added my own crap to it. I brought them together for my own benefit so I don't have to wait for endless graphics to load while bouncing around from site to site. Whether or not anybody else gets any use of this I could care less. |

InfoSeek
Net Search Good output, their attempt to get "commercial" failed against the sound Web altruistic spirit (:-), it's now a free service. This claims to be the largest set of searchable indexes to WWW pages and to USENET newsgroups. 1998: INFOSEEK is getting better and better! Detailed instructions under help in | |||||||||

Yahoo (it's an attempt to catalogue the entire Web, search on a topic) Very good for beginners, well organized. |

WWW
Worm: It is extremely flexible, allowing regular expression searches on URL, subject and content. In spite of its flexibility, it's not difficult to use, and there exists a straightforward tutorial. | |||||||||

Lykos
Big and slow, Lykos has a large number of binary files in its database, has greater depth than most search engines, because it also indexes FTP archives and Gopher menus. Besides, you can search with Lykos peremail. There are some other interesting Lykos resources as well, including a list of the frequency of over six million words used on the Web. Lycos is one of those facilities that's almost too good, presenting you with more information than you really need, but it's a great resource if you use it carefully to narrow down your search. | |||||||||

As if the above were not enough. |

HotBot (ex Inktomi, claims to have the largest index and the best scalability in terms of keeping up with the Web's exponential growth, claims to be able to re-index the entire Web every week) Well known for its awful colors, this was one of the BEST search engines available, unfortunately slowed down by useless graphics frills. Simple and advanced... detailed instructions under help |
| Internet search wizard Compuserve's all-in-one form, this one you are using is better |
| ftp search 3000 FTP sites around the world, quite slow and busy at times. ("This server is located in Trondheim, Norway") |
| Archie request form (but you better use Archie trough email) |
| All search engines of the planet... the coveted list by Andrei Nedashkovsky (some of the links do not work, though) |
| Magellan More a guide than a search engine. Not very useful |
| Planet search |
