Those with (M) are Meta Engines; those with (B) are Boolean Engines

>>> FREE Online Language Translator (AltaVista Babelfish) <<<
>>> Also Dutch, Danish, Finnish & Czech <<<

Efficient Web Searching:

Use Advanced (Adv) Search Engines
Where possible, use Boolean Logic ("AND", "OR", "NOT")
Think of NETS (Narrow search, Exact phrases, Trim end of URL, & See Similar pages). For examples of those strategies, see Four Nets
Note: One of the Engines listed below usually will suffice for general WWW searches. If not, try another one from the list.
If that fails, consider downloading the FREE versions of two special pieces of software, WebFerret and/or Copernic, from WWW. Copernic is especially useful for scientific data; WebFerret is very good for general data. Both have powerful search capacity and often find sites on WWW that are "hidden from" (unlisted on) standard WWW Engines.
As a last resort, try some Other WWW Engines
