the quality of search engines is THE
SEARCH ENGINE UPDATE By Danny Sullivan.

Salam Rusli writes: My favourite Search Engine is www.alltheweb.com It
is very-very fast, what I can't find from other search engines I can
find it here.
Malika Weil recommends: Speaking of search engines, I like
to use Profusion. It
is actually a meta-search engine. One can choose to use "the fastest 3", "the
best 3", "all", or "you choose" and simultaneously
put several search engines to work for you. The 9 search
engines included are: AltaVista, InfoSeek, LookSmart,
Excite, Magellan, WebCrawler, GoTo, AllTheWeb, and
Yahoo. One can use simple, Boolean, or phrase searching. I
have generally had very good results, and this is the tool we usually recommend
to our students.
Carlos Maeztu: If you want a new type of search engine try Oingo. This
search engine will actually ask for the meaning of each search term (by using
a pull-down menu of synonyms) before it does its search. You can also choose
not to use this option. Either way the results are excellent.
