`Search Engines
`
`Afen /Jave become the tool of their tools.- Ilenry David Thoreau
`
`Here is a short list of search engines, all included because they
`are either good) or have historic innovations) or are promising for
`the future. Tbere are plenty more search engines, and all of their
`designers are hard at work to improve results.
`The list includes some heavyweights (AltaVista and Google)
`some behind-the-scenes folks (Inktomi) and some new entries, some
`of which are barely out of their starting blocks (Teoma and Wise Nut).
`We will briefly look at some metasearch engines, which harness a
`selected range of other search engines to provide a broader search
`experience.
`
`GOOGLE (http://www.google.com/)
`
`This is a good one. The founders have come up with a fine search
`engine, in many ways far ahead of everyone else, and the current
`standard to beat. They did it quickly and thoughtfully, and as an
`immeasurable bonus) have so far resisted many of the commercial
`pressures that have marred the products of other notable search
`engine companies.

`ran off a couple of old PCs in the proverbial Silicon Valley garage.*
`The goal early on was to make a search engine that could cope sue~
`cess fully with even very simple queries. and the overall design of the
`product reflects some very innovative thinking.
`Once arrived at c;ooglc's search page, your first pleasant surprise
`is the relatively dean interface( just a nice dear screen with a mini~
`mum of distracting directions and links. In its initial phase, the inter~
`face was even more minimalist, but even as more content has been
`added. the clutter~ free initial page is still effective.
`The search window is a text box and has a button to dick for
`searching. A legacy of the whimsical nature of graduate student proj~
`ects is revealed in the existence of the 'Tm feeling lucky" button,
`which has no expbnation whatsoever. This choice leads you merely
