Search Engines

PEOPLE | JOBS | SOFTWARE | TRAVEL | SPECIALTY

Search engines are databases that store information about websites on the Internet, and can be searched by the public.  They will respond to your queries with a list of websites that match your search.  You can then click on the website of your choice from the list of responses the search engine gives you.

Concept / Keyword Search Engines

These search engines allow you to query their databases for websites matching the keywords that you specify.  Each one has a slightly different format and searching style, so experiment until you find the one you are most comfortable using.

Metacrawlers (Multiplex) Search Engines
Unlike Concept / Keyword search engines, metacrawlers send searches to several search engines all at once. The results are then blended into a single response.
