Search Engines:
Google
Twice-voted "Most
Outstanding Search Engine" by Search Engine Watch readers, Google has a
well-deserved reputation as the top choice for those searching the web. The
crawler-based service 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.
AllTheWeb.com (FAST)
An excellent crawler-based search engine, 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. Indeed,
it's a first stop search engine, for some.
Yahoo
Launched in 1994, Yahoo is the web's oldest
"directory," a place where human editors organize web sites into categories.
However, in October 2002, Yahoo made a giant shift to using Google's
crawler-based listings for its main results. If Yahoo is now powered by Google,
then why bother using it? For one thing, you might find that the way Yahoo
"enhances" Google's listings with information from its own directory may make
search results more readable.
MSN Search
Microsoft is known for constantly reworking its
software products until they get them right, and MSN Search is a shining example
of the company putting that same effort into an online product. In particular,
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. After performing a search, "Popular Topics" shown below the search box
on the results page are also suggestions built largely by editors to guide you
into making a more refined search. When appropriate, search results may also
feature links to encyclopedia content from Microsoft Encarta or news headlines,
at the top of the page.
Lycos
Lycos is one of the oldest search engines on the web, launched in 1994. It
ceased crawling the web for its own listings in April 1999 and instead uses
crawler-based results provided by FAST. So why bother with Lycos rather than
using FAST's own AllTheWeb.com site? You might like some of the features that
Lycos provides.
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.
