lost and found

 

"Finding what you want on the Internet can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, about the only thing growing faster than the Net itself is the number of online search tools to help you track down whatever it is you're looking for. But which tool is really the best? Where should you go first?"

look for: software, e-mail, meta searches, web, collections, boolean help

Or try my: frequently used search engines

Software

e-mail

  • MESA MetaEmailSearchAgent. The following email-searchengines are queried in parallel: Populus, IAF, suchen.de, SwissInfo, Yahoo People Search, Bigfoot
  • WhoWhere?! Millions of e-mail adresses.
  • Internet Address Finder

Meta-Search

  • metacrawler may send your query to several Web search engines, including AltaVista, Excite, GoTo.com, Infoseek, LookSmart, Lycos, Thunderstone, and WebCrawler.
  • Suchen.com gut konfigurierbare Metasuchmaschine. Parallele Suche in bis zu 36 Suchmaschinen
  • HotBot one of the biggest collections of dead linx and somtimes this bot is very, very slow from Germany (Sigh!)
  • SavvySearch is faster than HotBot
  • AccuFind a CUSI style engine

Web search and catalogs

  • Yahoo
  • Alta Vista Don't miss the advanced search
  • excite not a real search engine site, you automaticly get additional information (stock, news, weather, sports)
  • Infoseek is a site like excite. Never could stand that commercial style
  • Naughty Linx hey, don't waste your time
  • Deja News - Query Form Looking for a news-group-posting?
  • Lycos guide to the Internet, including a very large catalog of URLs, a directory of the most popular sites, critical reviews of the Web's top sites, real-time news links and on-target editorial content.
  • WebCrawler acts as an agent, searching for documents of particular interest to the user. In doing so, it draws upon the knowledge accumulated in its index and some simple strategies to bias the search toward interesting material. In this sense, it is a lot like the Fish search, although it operates network-wide.
  • Goto (formerly WWWW - World Wide Web Worm) Now it's recreation stuff
