Web Search Engines

This page presents Form Interfaces to general and dedicated search engines available on the Web, grouped together on a single page, in a style similar to the Internet Sleuth and All-in-One Search Pages.

---

They have been disposed by two levels of detail.

A global one, whereas single query fields to each service are presented (grouped together, side by side).

And a detailed interface level, with controls and other options presented (when offered by some services).

---

Note: Internet Explorer 3 users on Windows 3.1x plataforms may experience memory limitation problems due to the number of detailed forms on this page. As a solution I recommend switching to Netscape, or jump to the global search interface (since complaining with the "Big-Boss" about memory limitations of their line of browsers is definetively not faded to produce successful improvments in current or future versions).

---

In order to search a same expression from more than one service, it must be retyped at each query field, since this page does not process queries by a cgi-bin interface like MetaCrawler, SavvySearch, DogPile, MetaSearch or MetaFind (where with just a single expression, groups of search engines are activaded simultaneously, and their query results aggregated together on a single response).

---

Another search alternative one may consider, is the installation of Meta Search Engines directly on the user (host machine) Operating System, like WebFerret (for Windows95) or other Search Bots available from Software Catalogs like Tucows.

---

For Reference Books on Web Searching one may consider: Web Search Strategies ( MIS Press ) or AltaVista Search Revolution, Second Edition ( McGraw-Hill ) or Official Netscape Guide to Internet Research, Second Edition ( Ventana Pub. ) or Netresearch : Finding Information Online ( O'Reilly )

---

For an extensive Base of Links related to Web Searching one may consider Yahoo's Searching the Web pages, with special attention to All in One Search Pages, Search Engines, Web_Directories and Indices pages.

---

Apart from Meta and General engines, dedicated interfaces to services of interest to the Scientific Computing community have also been included on this page, specially to Tech Reports / Bibliographies, BookStores, News / Digests, Events Calendar Databases, Membership Directories, Societies Digital Libraries / Online Publications, Scientific Software Repositories, Laboratories / Research Centers, Universities Web Pages.

---

Some of the Digital Libraries services of Academic Research Societies requires Online Membership or Subscription, by means of Individual E-accounts or Institutional Domain access validation, in order to process the queries.

---

All other services are provided free of charge or registration, from their respective original maintainers, indicated on Bold hyperlinks at each of the detailed interface sections, on this page.
