| 561149 | 2007-06-21 10:21:00 | Just an update, a mate of mine in IRC reckons the runewords in Ancestral Recall are similar or the same as the runewords in classic (I found one site that was written in danish, he translated but english isn't his native language). This might help |

| 561151 | 2007-06-21 10:50:00 | Try Vivisimo search engine. It pulls quite well and categorises its hits (selecting suitable categories can be a big help when there are hundreds of hits to wade through). | Robin S_ (86) | ||

| 561153 | 2007-06-21 19:22:00 | I wouldn't say the last 4 in that list are search engines. You also have some glaring holes in your list. The below list is all the ones I know of (that ARE search engines): http://hotbot.com/ http://ask.com/ http://www.altavista.com/ http://www.dogpile.com/ http://www.mamma.com/ http://www.ixquick.com/ http://search.yahoo.com/ http://iq.lycos.co.uk/ ... if you would like a more comprehensive list, it can be found here (en.wikipedia.org). :) I am aware of lists of other search methods. My list was just a small example. The NZ one will find some stuff on NZ. Wika will also search stuff and the last two will help find more search specific methods and new search engines. I had no intention of listing everything, just to add some variety to how people search to help them find more. |

| 561154 | 2007-06-21 19:24:00 | What can't Google find? It all depends on how you ask. Google has limitations just as does any other search engine. "how you ask" is not the be all and end all of searching. Try others you just be surprised. |

| 561155 | 2007-06-21 19:28:00 | I had no intention of listing everything, just to add some variety to how people search to help them find more.Was a good idea (some people only know of google).The ones I added (like yahoo for instance) have been around for years and therefore should have a very comprehensive base to search from | Myth (110) | ||
| 561156 | 2007-06-21 20:30:00 | "Google it" seems to just be the current buzz word for the newbies to computing and that is why I assume a lot of the younger/newer users know nothing else. Google is good, I am not disputing that, but another better engine will come along in time and knock it off the lead list. History has shown that already with other mainstream engines. It is surprising how long the search engine has been around really. With so much information on the internet and it growing so fast I guess there will always have be to be better ways to locate and filter out what is needed. I remember having to use a Win 3.1 and a terminal program to connect to the internet and used to use the ISP's basic search processes in my first years on the net. vlib.iue.it (Some history) http://www.searchenginehistory.com/ (Some History) searchenginewatch.com (Search Tips) searchenginewatch.com (What's the best Search Engine?) Various definitions of a search engine: "search engine n. A software program that searches a database and gathers and reports information that contains or is related to specified terms." Or "Internet search engines (eg Google, AltaVista) help users find web pages on a given subject" |
