Abstract
Overview of product development among Web search engines. They all went through a language acquisition phase in the past 2 years at an accelerated pace, with results that even the largest traditional services would envy. Spotlights some of the best features, including AltaVista's honouring of upper case and assumption of adjacency; InfoSeek's ability to place reviewed sites at the top of a results list, and its automatic pluralization and singularization; Northern Light's user controlled single and multiple character truncation; Excite's ability to group and ungroup results; HotBot's option to limit a search to specific major disciplines; and Lycos Pro's user controlled ranking of search results. Web searching has never been a more intuitive or user friendly process
