Use these tools to search the Web for information, or browse some directories that categorize the Web by topic. Since each search tool will most likely yield different results, try a couple of them out. If you've never used a search engine before, you might want to go through our explanations and tutorials about search engines, or try some additional tutorials at Search Engine Watch. There's also a great interactive tutorial on being an Internet detective that you might like to try.
For a page which brings together many different search engines and other information retrieval devices like encyclopedias, Bible searches and Shakespeare listings, see Ted Slater's Search Engine Collection. Search Engine Watch also has a collection of search engines organized by category.
If you have a favorite search engine or directory not listed here, please read our link guidelines and submit its link.
