Major Search
Engines:
- All In One - A new
meta search engine that has a grouping function.
-
All The Web - Provides both
comprehensive coverage of the web and outstanding relevancy. If you tried
Google and didn't find it. All the Web should probably be next on your list.
-
AltaVista - Lots of neat extras, such as translation. Useful when
searching multiple languages in genealogical work. AltaVista is the oldest
crawler-based search engine on the web. Today it is rated about the "third
choice" crawler after Google and AlltheWeb.
- AOL
Search - AOL Search provides users with editorial listings that come
from Google's crawler-based index.
- Ask
Jeeves - Ask Jeeves initially gained fame in 1998 and 1999 as being
the "natural language" search engine that let you search by asking questions
and responded with what seemed to be the right answer to everything. Behind
the scenes about 10 editors monitor search logs, and locate the best sites to
match the most popular queries. Ask Jeeves also uses the Teoma search
engine that it owns.
- Excite
-Rated as one of the best Search Enginess. Owns easy to use
Webcrawler , a favorite.
- Go
/ InfoSeek -Was popular, but is
slipping
- Google
-Provides both comprehensive coverage of the web along with great
relevancy. It's highly recommended as a first stop in your hunt for whatever
you are looking for.
- Inktomi
- Inktomi is unusual in that it is the only major search engine that does not
offer its own search site. If you go to the Inktomi site, you'll only find
company information, not the ability to search the web. Inktomi prefers to be
solely a "behind-the-scenes" partner for other search engines that need
results, such as MSN Search.
- IX Quick
-Up and coming Search Engine. Highly rated.
- Kanoodle
-Up and coming paid position Search Engine.
- LookSmart
- LookSmart is a human-compiled directory of web sites. The company does
operate its own web site, but this really isn't intended for the public to
use. Instead, similar to Inktomi, LookSmart provides its results to other
search engines that need listings.
- Lycos
-"Wolf spider" (Latin). Owns HotBot
offering parallel, scalable searches. Search a domain, eg. [.edu]. It's
one of the oldest search engines on the web, launched in 1994. It uses
crawler-based results provided by FAST.
- MSN
-Bill Gates has to have his fingers into everything, but with a lot of
reworking has become a good product. The company has its own team of editors
that monitors the most popular searches being performed and then hand-picks
sites that are believed to be the most relevant. Results from LookSmart
dominate the page.
- NBCi/
Snap -An improving search engine
-
Northern Light -Has a special pay collection.
- Overture
-Formerly GoTo, the original paid listings Search Engine.
- Teoma
-Great relevancy. It is a crawler-based search engine owned by Ask
Jeeves. It has an extremely small index of the web, only about 1/10th the size
of crawler-based competitors Google, AlltheWeb.com, Inktomi and AltaVista.
- WiseNut
-New search engine with good relevancy. WiseNut has a large database,
making it nearly as comprehensive as Google, AlltheWeb.com and Inktomi.
- Yahoo!
-Web index pioneer. Such a huge directory, it is a virtual Search Engine.
It now uses Google's listings for its main results, but enhances Google's
listings with information from its own directory that make search results more
readable.
