Guide to Search Engines Tips on using search engines like
The Spider's Apprentice, Spidap, is not another search engine. It doesn't crawl the Web looking for new URLs. It can't find stuff for you...but it can help you find it yourself. That's what we're all about--helping you search the Web more efficiently. We explain to you how search engines work. We advise you on improving your own search engine ranking by careful use of meta tags and keywords. We guide you in figuring out which search engines are most effective--in fact, we rank them for you. (See our current rankings below, and our more comprehensive ratings on our In-depth Ratings and Analysis Page.) New: Find books and other information on web search, web site promotion, and internet marketing. New: Search from our site -- try out all your favorite search engines! Ever wondered what other folks search for? Now you can be a search voyeur! To see some of the questions searchers are asking, check out Ask Jeeves's posting of real-time queries. It's fun to watch. What's New with Search EnginesMany of the companies have been developing new applications to offer on their search sites (or else buying technology from other companies to augment their own). For example, Infoseek is offering Express, a metasearch program you can download and install on your desktop. It allows you to search by category, save queries, refine queries, and it generally organizes your results. Similarly, Altavista has a downloadable desktop utility, Discovery, that allows you to search the Web, search the documents on your own computer, and search your email files. Meanwhile, at Our Information Service, we're looking at ways to get information more effectively, too.
