Metasearch engines
will automatically search multiple search engines at one time, or several will let you choose which ones
you want to search. |
|
Search Directories
are set up by humans instead of a "spider" that creeps through a site and catalogs pages. |
|
Search Engines
usually have "spiders" or "webots" that go out on the Internet and crawl over a site
and catalog the pages for their search engine. |
|
Specialty Engines
These engines are especially good for specific and exact searching. |
|
Reference Directories
are usually set up by information navigators (like librarians) and have a large source of general information. |
