WWWW - WORLD WIDE WEB WORM WWWW is a World Wide Web Search Engine which you can use to search for information on of interest worldwide. WWWW allows you to locate almost any WWW hypertext (text seen underlined in a Web Browser ) or WWW information resource (URL), simply by specifying some keywords. WWWW provides four types of search databases: citation hypertext, citation addresses (URL), HTML titles and HTML addresses . The latter two are much smaller databases, which can therefore be searcheabled faster. For explanation of the terms HTML, URL and citation see the definitions section below. WWWW provides three different search techniques for each database: two fast keyword searches and a much slower regular expression search. In both methods upper case and lower case letters are not distinguished. Finally WWWW allows you to specify a limit for the number of matches you wish returned to you (very useful on slow lines). http://www.cs.colorado.edu/home/mcbryan/WWWWintro.html

WWWeb to X.500 Gateway If you need an email address and you know where a person works or goes to school , the WWWeb to X.500 Gateway at the University of Texas is a great tool -- as lo long as you use it properly. The problem is that X.500 is an email directory protocol that isn't used by everyone on the Net; hence, many institutions with email access are not included in this directory. When it comes to navigating the directory, the best strategy is to follow the geographic and institution links down t o the department or division of the person you're looking for. No matter how tempting, lay off the search engine until you're completely stuck -- most of the time it's worse than useless. http://ldap.utexas.edu:8888/M

A Better Galaxy Search Engine The Galaxy uses WAIS technology for searching various indexes. Until now, the FreeWAIS software we used was ill-suited for searching a really large index like our Gopherspace - it used way too much computer memory!

K.U.Leuven Meta Search Engine Using this Meta Search search engine different search engines will be searched with the given keyword. The underlying search engines are consulted one by one, so it can take some time before the results are ready. First local indexes will be searched, and as long as there are not a certain number of matches other search engines will be consulted. If you give more than one keyword some search engines (which allow on only one keyword) will not be consulted. Some of the consulted search engines are regularly overloaded, so they will return nothing during some periods. In some cases the results are reformatted to make the output smaller. http://mailser v.cc.kuleuven.ac.be/cgi-bin/metasearch.pl
