Search Engines

If you're new to Internet research, check out the Hints for Searching the Internet.

Google

Ask Jeeves
Just type in a question and click Ask! Jeeves might send you to the perfect site, or it offers matches by WebCrawler, Yahoo, Infoseek, Excite, and AltaVista.

HotBot
Narrow your search immediately by selecting what you'd like your "Return Results" to include: number of sites, full or brief descriptions, exact phrase, or even choose a foreign language!

Alta Vista
Click on Related Searches or look for the "Last Modified" date below each summary for the most up-to-date site.

Yahoo
With over half-a-million sites divided into more than 25,000 categories, Yahoo! is both browseable and searchable. Use these two features to locate information on just about anything.

Excite
Before searching, read recent news updates and scroll "Shortcuts" for Yellow Pages and city services. Excite gives you "Try These First" choices and then its Top 10 Matches.

Infoseek
The GO Network gives a list of "Matching Topics" and, in each Web site summary, highlights your search terms in yellow.

AskERIC Home Page
This site offers very strong word searching of more than 100,000 articles, books and reports exploring educational topics - all published since 1986.
