Search Engine Power Searching

Search Engines & Directories

  • Google
    My favorite search tool has very relevant results, has an easy to use & clean interface, and a useful advanced search.

  • Google Directory
    Use the Google Directory to search & analyze the human database listings from the Open Directory Project

  • Yahoo
    Good results. Also has a human-compiled directory to search, but since it is fairly restrictive it won't guarantee you the best results. Many extremely relevant sites aren't listed.

  • MSN Search
    Another option to the other big searches but the results aren't always as relevant as Google or Yahoo

  • Teoma
    Decent search results but summary text of search results is a too short to get an idea of page content. Interesting search refine feature can sometimes help you easily focus your search.

  • Ask Jeeves
    Decent results. Short summary text.

  • LookSmart
    Mainly a directory compiled by humans. Decent but slim results.

  • AltaVista
    Worth a try... results come from Yahoo

  • Gigablast
    Search engine with a smaller web index. Different results are handy sometimes but not always the most relevant. Use for tricky searches when you can't seem to find what you're looking for. What I find interesting is how Gigablast takes energy conservation, energy efficiency, and environmental pollution very seriously. I'm all for preserving our natural resources and protecting nature and the outdoors. Read about it at Gigablast's Environmentally Friendly Search
