This is the page that allows you to search the Internet for
information on any topic you desire. Searching works by
typing in the topic you are interested in and hitting the
search button. There are currently
two search engines available from this page.
The first, Metacrawler, will look through many other search engines
sites and will provide the greatest number of links to the topic
you entered.
The second, AltaVista, searches through it's own database and
usually provides more relevant links. AltaVista also has
support for many different languages and you can type in
questions as if you were asking a person. More on this in a
second.
To search in either engine, type the subject that you want to
find information on in the box and press the Search button.
In Metacrawler, you can specify to search for pages that contain
all of the words you enter or any of the words you
enter into the box. Additionally, you can tell the search engine
to only return the pages that have the exact words you type in
the exact same order you type them.
With AltaVista, you can type in just the plain words you are
interested in or you can enter a question as if you were
talking to a person. Additionally, with AltaVista you can search
for words in a specific language by selecting one from the list.
Finally, you can also decide to search for images, video and audio
files instead of web pages if you so desire.
Basically, if you want a lot of information quickly, MetaCrawler
is the way to go. If you want more precise information, AltaVista
is for you.
