Search Tools:

Pioneer: Utah's On-Line Library

Northern Lights --The Northern Light research engine uses patented classification intelligence and precision relevancy ranking to improve Web searching. It delivers accurate, relevant results from the Web and our Special Collection™ of over 6,900 respected full-text publications not otherwise available to Web searchers, which are organized into Custom Search Folders™ so that users don't have to waste time weeding through useless information.

Google: -- Google crawls the Web scooping up hyperlinks and uses them to figure out how important a page is by who is using it. It draws on the Web itself to deliver more relevant answers to queries.

Excite:--Uses a combination of text and subject indices to search either by keyword or by concept. Concept searches, according to the Excite authors, find documents related to the idea of your search, and not just documents explicitly containing the search terms you enter.

Meta Search Pages

ProFusion: -- ProFusion features Intelligent Search, a powerful Internet search tool that queries other search engines to get initial results, and then uses artificial intelligence for further processing to deliver the most relevant results. Search results returned by all search tools are then combined with duplicates removed and relevance factors recalculated. The current implementation of ProFusion Search uses nine search tools and directories.

DogPile --It's a metasearch engine that saves you the time by searching 10 search engines at once. If you want to spend less time finding more stuff, you should definitely try it out!
