General Web Directories
and Search Engines
There are many sites that allow you to "surf" the web by exploring various categories of information, or entering search criteria. Here are a few.
(NOTE: We also have a page of links to law-related web directories and search engines).
Collections of Directories and Search Engines
- SearchAllInOne.com -- Includes links to Web search engines, people finders, news and weather collections, software, publications, and desk reference collections
- INFOMINE -- "Scholarly Internet resource collections." According to Genie Tyburski, INFOMINE functions like a library catalog pointing researchers to information sources of superior substance and quality. All entries offer the site name and URL as well as a description and links to subject terms for related resources. (Genie Tyburski, law librarian at Ballard Spahr, produces The Virtual Chase web site.)
- Ixquick -- metasearch engine
- MetaEureka -- "may be the cleanest interface to querying multiple search engines that I have seen. In fact, it may be a bit too clean. " according to Genie Tyburski of The Virtual Chase.
- Pandia -- "guide to Internet search engines and directories! Get tools, news, tutorials and resources."
- Search.com -- very handy links to many of the same search sites, plus others, and also offers search engines in various categories, such as legal and government
