Internet Search Engine Directory

With the billions of web pages on the Internet, how do you drill down to find the pages that are most relevant to your search? Although most people use one of the "Big Three" search engines - and sometimes only the "Big One" - all search engines are not created equal. Depending on the type of information you're seeking, you may have more success searching via an Internet search engine directory or one of the many specialized types of search engines.

Here are a few of the types of specialty search engines that can help you retrieve the specific information you're seeking, without the static of irrelevant pages and links:

Articles: If you're looking for articles to reprint - often free of charge - there are a number of search engines that can serve your needs. These engines can also generate source information from previously published articles.

Audio: There are a number of search engines that specialize in searching for audio files. Whether you're looking for MP3 files, podcasts, or other audio formats, these search engines allow you to specify the type of audio file you're seeking. Bittorrent: Bittorrent search engines look for results within torrents, which are groups of people sharing the same files and information.

Blogs: Looking for a specific blog, or a blog on a certain topic? Blog search engines narrow their quests to blog entries, so you can find the opinion you're looking for. Community Search: Community search engines return results from within the local area that you specify. Images: If a picture is worth a thousand words, an image search engine is worth hundreds of thousands. With an image search engine, you can cut to the chase and retrieve images in a variety of file formats.
