Search the Internet

Metasearch engines do not search the web themselves. Instead, they simultaneously submit your search to several different search engines. They are good for searching an obscure topic, but usually do not allow very precise or advanced searching.
- Dogpile
- Ixquick
- Metacrawler
- Monster Crawler: "Web's best picks" at the top of search results are actually paid-for advertising
- Vivisimo: clusters results together by secondary topic
Subject directories group web sites together by topic. They contain far fewer sites than a search engine, but are easier to use, especially if you want to browse sites on a general subject.
