Search Engines 101

Okay, you caught me. I haven't written this page yet!

But when I do, I will tell you how the common search engines and search websites work -- like Yahoo! and Excite -- and I will include details on what you need to type in for a search phrase, and how each search engine is a little different from the others.

Patience, please! I've only got nine fingers, after all.

Feature Altavista AOL* Excite Go.com /
Infoseek
Lycos MSN Snap Yahoo!
Specialty:                
* -- limited access (?)

Note: the presence of any internet provider/company/site in this table does not imply any recommendation, whether positive or negative, by Clueless Joe. In other words, I'm keeping my opinions to myself.

Who am I missing? I think there's another big one out there somewhere ... isn't there?
