one or more of the following search tools:
Full-text index of more than 30 million Web pages and over 14,000
news groups. A powerful and very, very fast search engine enables
Web users to conduct precise searches for specific information by
looking for phrases, specifying key words, using case-sensitive
matches, and restricting searches to titles or other parts of a
document.
A comprehensive Internet database, so use the most unique search
terms you can. Allows Boolean AND and OR and can match up to 7
terms - good for synonyms or variant spellings.
Small database, but great search engine and relevancy ranking.
Good for quick searches. Also has a subject directory.
Reviews, Usenet news and classifieds, and headline news as well as
a keyword and concept search engine. Unique feature - results
grouped by sites.
Has indexed the full text of over 50 million pages and is updated
daily. Unique to this new search engine are automatic name
recognition, no need for quotes to recongize capitalized word
phrases, and all words are searched. Plain English queries work
and it finds all word varients, e.g. mice will find mouse.
This begins as the most comprehensive subject index, but, with the
addition of AltaVista turns into a search engine. Gives you
several ways to refine your search on the search page. Best of
all, if you don't get any Yahoo hits, or don't like what you got,
several other search engines are at the bottom of the page and a
click peforms the same search on one of them. As an added bonus,
you get instant access to hourly news, weather, sports, and stock
reports - courtesy of a Yahoo agreement with Reuter's.
