There are programs to help youconnect to the internet, to get your e-mail, to create web pages, to talk to friendsonline, and to find new acquaintances. There are endless avenues of information available to all users that span the globe, and one person couldn't hope to even get a passing look at half of them.

Don't worry though, because the people that have been here before you havemanaged to come up with the tools that can help you find your way around, getthe information that you want, and make your time spent on the Internet moreproductive and enjoyable.

AltaVista

AltaVista, Digital Electronics Corp.'s search engine, can be extremely accurate once you know what you're looking for. But sometimes it finds too much; as Denise Caruso said on The Utne Reader's online site, "It's exhaustive,but not necessarily helpful."

Deja News
The largest collection of indexed archived Usenet news anywhere!

DisInformation
The most dangerous site in cyberspace. A searchable database of more than 30 million documents, DisInformation collects and indexes themost subversive, "hidden" material on the Web. The editors rate the results on a scale of one to four grenades.

Excite

Excite's statistical approach to indexing and searching is rooted in artificial intelligence research, and finds synonyms for your queries. Because of this, the engine isn't fussy about exact keywords, and may even "know what youmean." Excite can also search the past two weeks of Usenet news, and has a 60,000-site review section.

Infomine
Comprehensive Net resources from University of California, Riverside.

Infoseek

Infoseek ranks Web pages better than other engines, so more of the cream comes out on top. Oftentimes though, their database contains fewer, less-fresh links than other engines. Also try out their other engine, Infoseek Ultra.

The Internet Sleuth
More than 1,500 searchable databases.

Junk Yard of the Net
All your favorite topics are only one hoe's hit away. Its HTML-challenged creators have collected sites under such greatcategories as Useless and Unbelieveable.

Library of Congress Indexes to Other WWW Services
An exhaustive guide to the Net.

LinkMaster
The coolest search on the planet. And possibly the most unstable, too.

Lycos

Lycos claims to have indexed 91 percent of the Web with a spider technology. No Boolean searches, however - and Lycos doesn't index every word on a page, just the 250 most significant words. Check out Pictures & Sounds, their searchable multimedia catalog for the Net.

Magellan

The McKinley Group's offering. Advertising exec: "I've got an idea. Why don't we review sites and give everyone alive four stars and a cute little GIF to go along with it, so they'll put a link to us on their site!" Random daughter ofpublisher Robert Maxwell: "Absolutely brilliant!" Voyeur's kinda fun, though.

MetaCrawler

Nice form by Erik Selberg and Oren Etzioni that searches nine major search engines and brings back the results. For those who haven't formed a loyal bond to one engine.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer
Actual copy from this site: "It's the Web. Only Better! It's a party!" The Find It Fast! link in their Best of the Webportion can be helpful, though. BYOB(rowser).

Netscape Destinations
Sites for the whole family. Not a PG-13 in the whole bunch.

Open Text
Open Text does a poor job of finding Web pages. It does, however, use human brainpower to weigh its pages - so a search for a company namewill likely bring up the appropriate homepage right away.

Point
Lycos-owned "Best of the Web" site.

Reference.COM
Reference.COM allows you to use the old Stanford Information Filtering Tool to search through more than 16,000 Usenet newsgroups andhundreds of publicly accessible mailing lists.

Search.com
CNET's index of more than 250 ways to search the Net.

SightSeer
IMANA's agent-based site will suggest sites based on your existing bookmark file.

WebCrawler

AOL-owned. Big search returns - not always the most specific, however, in subject matter.

Webliography

Louisiana State University Library's guide to Internet resources. Contains, among other things, links to a technical journal index and some multiple-language dictionaries.

WWWomen
The Net's largest listing of content by and for women.

Yahoo!
The definitive growth-oriented index on the Net. AI-trained Srinija Srinivasan and her gang of Web surfers record and index some 1,500 sites daily. Nowonder it's been getting so difficult to browse.

YellowebEurope
A European Web directory that lets users search in seven languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Russian.
