Excite Net Search If I had to choose one search engine to take on a desert island with me, this would be the one.
Yahoo Canada The Canadian home of this classic directory application. Drill down through the categories, or search from the top.
Alta Vista My favorite index search engine. Type in some keywords and you are on the way.
HotBot Fast and extensive list of pages. It isn't as slick as Alta Vista, but if you can't find it anywhere else try here.
Infoseek This one has received a lot of favorable reviews lately. It combines a directory and an index very nicely. You might enjoy Infoseek searching!
LookSmart It's targeted to Net newbies, and it's easy to use. If you like "Readers Digest" take it out for a spin.
WebCrawler One of the all time classic index engines. I still use it on occasion.
Lycos Prodigy thinks so much of Lycos, they made it the default search engine for their Internet service. You can judge for yourself, I suppose.
