Search the Internet

Annotated index of Internet Search Services by Roman Barták


This web page contains links to some popular search services. It covers both WWW indexes and directories. Last update - june 1997.

WWW index is a huge computer database of WWW pages (Usenet news). One can search this database by specifying key words or phrases.

WWW directory is a hierarchical catalogue of WWW pages organized in categories. Referred pages are usually reviewed and summarized.
