- 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
- The basic steps to build one are fairly simple: * Sign up * Pick a search engine name * Choose a list of sites * Add the sites * Publish That quickly, a search engine can be created to search a specific portion of the web, such as local government sites, childcare resources, or historical archives. It is easy to create a simple customized vertical search engine as well as support much more advanced capabilities (see the Google AJAX search API article). Try these tools and tips and build a customized search engine or two for your own users to help them find more targeted and relevant web information.
