INTERNET SEARCH
If you're trying to find a particular site or document on the Internet or
just looking for a resource list on a particular subject, you can use one
of the many available on-line search engines. These engines allow you to
search for information in many different ways - some search titles or
headers of documents, others search the documents themselves, and still
others search other indexes or directories.
SEARCH ENGINES
THE LYCOS HOME PAGE: HUNTING WWW INFORMATION
This search engine, served by Carnegie Mellon University, will allow you to
search on document titles and content. Its May 1 database contains 3.75 million link descriptors and the keywords from 767,000 documents.
The Lycos index is built by a Web crawler that can bring in 5000 documents per day. The index searches document title, headings, links, and keywords it locates in these documents.
WEB CRAWLER SEARCHING
This engine allows searches by document title and content. It is part of
the WebCrawler project, managed by Brian Pinkerton at the University of
Washington, which collects documents from the Web.
Alta Vista @ Digital
The newest of the search engines already has 16 millions documents indexed with 8 billion words.
