Search
Engines--If you cannot find it at these sites it is not on the Web!
-
HotBot
Are all computers the same? Are all cars the same? The answer
is yes and no. Not all search engines are the same. I find
that HotBot is the best organized and fastest. Give it a try.
AccuFind
So you do not believe me that HotBot is best search engine. Well,
you can have them all at once. AccuFind allows you to enter the words that
you are looking for and then search on all of the popular engines: InfoSeek,
Excite, Yahoo, . . . Just click the pull-down box to select the search
engine you want to use.
