SEARCH

All the Web claims it covers more of the web than its competitors. Teoma is another contender. Springfrog is a newcomer. FAST Multimedia Search will help you find photos and other graphics. KillerInfo - easy searching, Gigablast, Search Systems - Largest Free Public Records Database Collection, and Paper of Record - Building the world's largest searchable archive of historical newspapers (some results require a fee, some don't) may also be useful on occasion. Search.com allows you to tap many different engines, but only one at a time. AltaVista search can translate foreign language web sites for you at the click of a button (to translate something other than a mainstream western language however you better refer to my web services page). Some other alternatives include Dogpile, which is a 'metasearch' engine (searches multiple engine databases like Infoseek, Alta Vista, Lycos, etc., simultaneously, rather than just one at a time like C|net's page above). There's also this collection of (mostly) specialized search engines, AllSearchEngines.Com and this Guide to Search Tools. FamilySearch (Genealogy), Ancestry.com, FishSearch, and Search Public Records (maybe fee-based) are examples of specialized search engines. Other specialized engines or databases include Lyrics World - MAIN INDEX and FastWeb Free Scholarship and College Searches. Search Tools Chart offers some handy tips for using various engines.
Or maybe you want a search engine that just looks for movies, videos, CD ROMs, and games? (neat site!) Or only movie reviews? Tired of films? Then out-of-print, used, and/or rare books might be found here,
at this link or this one.
If none of the above help, maybe you need more engines to choose from. Try FinderSeeker - The Search Engine for Search Engines for that.
