The World Wide Web is a big place, and somewhere out there are the
pages that you want to see. But short of looking at every one of the millions of pages
out there, how can you find the ones that you need? The easiest way is to use a search
engine to do your looking for you, and that's why we have assembled all of the major
search engines here. You can either click on one of the search engine logos below, or
just enter what you're looking for here, select an engine from the list, and then press
"Go!"

Yahoo has always been the friendliest and easiest search engine
to use. With its straightforward index-like presentation, and even the option to
search only Canadian sites, we're sure you'll go back to Yahoo again and again. |

Deja-News offers you a powerful method of searching and reading
Usenet Newsgroups. Search for topics that interest you in newsgroup titles or text,
and even post your own articles. |

AltaVista offers the largest and most comprehensive search index
on the web -- If it's out there, AltaVista can find it. While not as friendly as
Yahoo, nor quite so picky about what it finds, AltaVista is the choice for finding
sites that the other engines overlook. |

Excite is an independent search engine that is very functional.
It searches on standard text strings and will return a brief description of each
site matching your criteria. |
|
 |
Infoseek offers a wide selection of search abilities, combining
text searches and what they describe as the web's largest directory. |
|
 |
Lycos offers keyword searches, as well as links to a variety
of indexes, including the "Top 5%" of reviewed web pages. |
|
 |
Metacrawler is a different concept in search engines. Rather
than maintaining its own database or index, Metacrawler searches the other engines
for you. It presents you with the combined results from AltaVista, Yahoo!, Excite,
WebCrawler, Infoseek, and Lycos, effectively combining the power of all of those
engines. Its only weakness is that it collects only ten 'hits' from each engine,
so the depth of the search is limited. |
