Abstract: In spite of their size, the major Web indexes are not comprehensive. Considers approaches carrying out comprehensive searches, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. In the single search tool approach, users search the largest of the databses one by one, using the command language uniqe to each to increase the precision of the esearch. In the megasearch approach, search engines use 1 form that simultaneously seands a single query to a number of search engines and then presents the results. Inference Find, Dogpile and MetaFind are examples of good metasearch engines

Abstract: Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of ... search engines. That's the gist of this postmortem on the search engines of yore, many quite popular at the time, their names still familiar to our ear. The author, ending on a positive note, points to a list of survivors but still you wonder what will happen if Google ever tanks or goes the "pay-for-positioning" route. Stranger things have happened

Abstract: Reviews recent changes in 3 Internet search engines. Lycos has implemented full Boolean searching and supports proximity search. AltaVista has introduced LiveTopics, a vocabulary tool for refining search results. Excite Channels is reorganizing from its supplemental database into a 1 page starting point

Abstract: Offers advice on Internet search techniques and strategies. These include going straight to the information source, guessing URLs, and developing strategies for when to use subject directories (product searches, broad topics, and current events) and search engines (unique keywords, phrase searching, field searching, and limits), a multiple search strategy, and chopping off part of the URL when sites con not be found

Abstract

Internet software vendors are now offering commercial products that not only queries multiple search engines simultaneously, but allows the user to sort results, remove duplicates and verify the available of the links. They run from the user's own computer. Evaluates the search capabilities, database coverage, post-processing, sorting and access limitations and other problems of: Internet Fast Find from Symantec, EchoSearch from Iconovex, WebCompass from Quarterdeck, and WebSeeker from ForeFront Group

Abstract: Compares WWW search engines to each other in terms of database size and overlap between the largest of them. Compares: AltaVista, Excite, HotBot, Infoseek, Lycos, Magellan, the Open Text index and WebCrawler. HotBot consistently finds more pages than any of the others. Considers how availability of hits, duplication and overlap affects evaluation of database size
