The big international directories, search engines, and the search engines that search several search engines at once.

1. WebCrawler
   Always good, it is even better since privatisation.
2. Excite Home
   Magellan is a variation of Excite.
   One of the best places to start research.
3. SavvySearch
   SavvySearch quickly obtains a few listings from a number of search engines.
   This identifies which big search engines are
   the best starting points for specific keywords.
4. EuroSeek
   One of the best search engines in the world.
   Principally European resources.
5. Yahoo!
   One of the oldest directories,
   it has expanded with the Internet.
   Still one of the best places to start.
6. One Page, Direct Query
   The best place to use if you need to search
   many search engines, one after another.
   Approximately 70 search tool listings at the last count,
   and still growing.
7. WWWomen
   Subject Directory for women online.
   The place to find the webpage for the attorney
   who specialises in petlaw
   & using antidiscrimination legislation to
   keep NY petowners and pets together & in their home;
   the place to find the camapaign ad.s for the women candidates
   running for Judge's positions in US judicial elections.
8. Oikeusinformatiikan instituutti
   This Finnish index was the best world wide guide to gopher sites
   in the days before the wwweb took over.
   Now it's on the web, and it's still very good.
9. ApolloBased in the UK.
10. Starting Point
11. Inktomi
12. HotBot
    Inktomi variant.
    Very useful research tool.
13. AltaVista: Main Page
    Simple queries
14. 
    Harder to use, but much more useful than the simple query page.
    Alta Vista is an oddity: many men seem to really like it, whereas many women seem far less enthusiastic.
15. Lycos
    Since it was privatised Lycos has become overloaded with graphics.
    Still has good links, but set the day aside before you start using it.
