The Internet is a huge storehouse of information. Searching the Web for information is one of the true benefits of the Internet. Today's search engines provide a powerful means for locating information on the Internet. On this page you will find links to a variety of resources that feature sophisticated search capabilities. Meta-search engines allow you to search several sites at the same time.
Directory services provide a smorgasborg of search services and other directories.
Standard search engines differentiate themselves based on search speed and the relevancy of their searches. Web crawlers examine each web page, index the text found on the page for future searches, and capture the links on that page for subsequent searching. Our experience shows the IBM InfoMarket meta-search service to be the most powerful of all the search services. You do not have to purchase pay-for materials located by the InfoMarket service if you do not select them for purchase and download. Other notable search services include Altavista, which is exceptionally fast, HotBot, which claims to index the entire Internet web, and Who Where, which can be used to locate names and addresses on the web.
