WWWW - WORLD WIDE WEB WORM
WWWW is a World Wide Web Search Engine which you can use to search for information 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 searched 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).

The Internet Public Library Ready Reference Collection
The IPL Ready Reference Collection is a collection of Internet resources gathered together with the needs of the Internet community in mind.

OKRA will help you find email addresses of your friends, organizations and even your dog (if it uses the net...) Essentially, there are two functions provided, submitting a query, and performing and add/delete from the database. Primary differences between this database and most others are that we do not require any registration for using our service, our data comes from a variety of differing sources, and of course, we're just college kids.

A very persistent program that searches a variety of databases to help you find someone. Not very easy to use, but it may be easier than looking through several different white pages servers to find someone.
http://nearnet.gnn.com/gnn/wic/wp.07.html

Four11
If you have a hunch someone you know is rolling down the Infobahn, but you can't locate that person, you might try Four11 Directory Services. While the Internet has no central directory, Four11 has about 500,000 entries and a fast, custom database engine for searching. New listings are incorporated daily. You can search the directory by any combination of first name, last name, location, and old email address. Four11 is a free service from SLED Corporation. (Note: New users will have to fill out a brief registration form before they can search the database.)
http://www.four11.com/Sled.html

Knowbot Information Service
The Knowbot Information Service is a "white pages" service that will search for a name through a large number of Internet databases. It's a great way to look up friends and acquaintances. It's not yet as convenient as it might be, but Knowbots are among the newest and most advanced services on the Internet; it's worth knowing about them.

LookUP! Directory Services
A Web-based directory of over 600,000 email addresses. Basic searches are free; advanced features require membership (also free as of June 10, 1995). While the advanced search has some cool features, the basic search works great for a straightforward name search.

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 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 to 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.

All the FAQs
A FAQ is the first refuge of an Internet user. There are thousands of FAQs on as many different subjects, written by longtime users who grew tired of answering the same questions over and over again. Thomas Fine has helped provide a better answer to the frequently asked question: how can I find the FAQ I need? He has created a hypertext database of FAQs and made them available through Ohio State University.

SIFT
Stanford Netnews Filtering Service (e-mail search service covering net news) Netnews, or USENET News, is a bulletin board system on the Internet. It is organized into discussion groups (called newsgroups) covering a wide variety of topics, e.g., from robotics to video game tips, from food recipes to politics. Its total readership is in millions and daily traffic in tens of MBs. One problem with Netnews is the volume and diversity of information. Our filtering service allows the user to express her interests in finer granularity (using profiles) than newsgroups, and hopefully can provide a better match of interests.

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! We had been forced to limit Gopher searches to keep the Galaxy from imploding.

The Web Press Text Search & Retreival System
The search engine will scan the contents of theweb pages or text files in the section choosen for all occurances of the keyword and display them for you in the context ofeach sentenence. Click on the hypertext word list and you will be shown the web page or text document and the surrounding3000 characters of text around the search word(s). If this is what you are looking for then click the hypertext again and theentire web page or text document will be displayed. This is a very powerful tool to search thousands of Web Press pages, word for word, for keywords of specific or general interest with minimal navigation. Multiple word searches take longer than single word searches.

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 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.
