Search engines (Our Lady's High School LRC)

There's more than just Google. Try some of the others listed below, and compare results.

	Librarians Internet Index	The Directory provides a different way of searching. Directories allow you to follow search paths, helping you find the exact information you need.
	alltheweb	Type a keyword into LiveSearch and it will suggest more keywords for you to choose from. Uses the same information as Yahoo.
	Ask! UK	This search engine tries to supply the most important results for your search, rather than the most popular results. Allows UK specific searches.
	AltaVista	Nice clear search page. Easy to hunt for Music, Video, News or Images. Allows UK specific searches.
Visual Searches	seeme	Actually shows you the webpages. Look through the results as if you are flicking through the pages of a book.
	KartOO	This engine provides the results in a visual splodge, which makes connections when you hover over the top of them.
	magportal	Searches free magazines on the web.

Specialist Search Engines	Find Sounds	Amazingly it looks for sound effects - bet you'd never have guessed!
