Search Engines


[To the top]

The following table lists popular World Wide Web Search Engines showing a comparison of what we consider to be useful features. Search Engines are automated tools that employ robots to find and retrieve Web pages. These pages are then analysed and indexed automatically. Search Engines are usually interrogated by user supplied keywords but some also provide a browsable classified directory.

Y indicates the feature is supported.

Classified Directories


[To the top]

These tools organise information on the Web into a browsable classification hierarchy. Most Directories also provide a keyword search facility. Information is gathered by user input (i.e. they do not employ a robot) and usually the user specifies the category to which the resource belongs and relevant keywords. These resources tend to be more accurate, because of the human intervention, but less comprehensive because of the lack of automation.

Meta Search Engines

These interfaces enable you to submit your query to several Search Engines at once. Some merely provide an interface and others post process the query to provide one set of results.
