• Gigablast :: A new search engine written by a programmer that is the only main search engine with live spidering of submitted URLs. Has a smaller index than the search giants but is, nevertheless, impressive.

Meta Search

Metasearch engines show results from multiple indexes. Our toolbar features many of these search engines for additional variety of algorithm and index depth for the professional researcher.

Directories

Directories are indexed by humans so their results are not as deep as search engines but the quality and categorization can be helpful.

• Open Directory :: Dmoz is the largest directory online, edited by thousands of volunteers.
• Yahoo :: One of the oldest, largest and most well know directories. Edited by Yahoo employees.
• LookSmart :: A directory whose commercial topics are edited by LookSmart and the rest edited by volunteer Zeal editors.
• Google Directory :: The Google directory is based on Dmoz (Open Directory) listings with Google Page Rank instead of alphabetic listings. Useful because Dmoz is often sluggish.
• Able2Know.com Portal :: A smaller directory edited by Able2Know volunteers. Unique because content is often directly embedded within the directory.
