directly to the list of search engines.
Here is an explanation of my symbols:
 |
Indicates that the search engine is broken down into categories. A good example is a search engine like Yahoo! A search engine like this can help find the most relevant sites in a specific subject. |
 |
Indicates that the search engine is searched by a keyword. An example of this is a search engine like AltaVista. These search engines contain the most web sites, but it can take some time finding the most relevant sites. |
 |
Indicates that the search engine contains both a category and keyword search. |
 |
Indicates that the search engine does a meta search. This means that a number of search engines are simultaneously searched, the results are compiled, and then displayed. The results are usually pretty relevant. |
Another note about the list: When I say that a search engine searches only German sites, I mean that the only sites it will return will be in German. A few search engines search English sites also and return those. For example, if you search for "Auto" on a German only search engine, you will only receive German language sites. Other search engines could return English sites, since auto is an English word too.
