Meta-search engines
Rather than visit multiple search engines yourself, you can save time by using a meta-search engine, which simultaneously sends your query to two or more general-purpose search engines and eliminates duplicate results. Here are some popular meta-search engines:
DogPile
http://www.dogpile.com
Mamma
http://www.mamma.com
MetaCrawler
http://www.metacrawler.com
Search.com
http://www.search.com
AvatarSearch Finds occult information about witchcraft, vampires, pagan rituals, astrology, tarot cards, and other topics that often panic right-wing conservatives ( http://www.avatarsearch.com ).
Black Web Portal Finds websites of particular interest to blacks ( http://www.blackwebportal.com ).
Crime Spider Searches for websites providing information about various crime and law enforcement sites and organized by topics such as serial murder, urban legends, and cybercrime ( http://www.crimespider.com ).
Disinformation Conspiracy theory-laden search engine that helps you uncover websites offering the "real truth" behind the pyramids of Mars, the sightings of black helicopters over America, film footage of Bigfoot, and the government secrets hidden in Area 51 ( http://www.disinfo.com ).
Education World Finds websites that can help students, teachers, and parents learn more about education ( http://www.education-world.com ).

Kid-safe search engines
If you leave your children unsupervised, it's likely that they'll eventually find bomb-making instructions and pornography on the Internet. While keeping children isolated from such information may be impossible, you can at least limit their searching to kid-safe search engines. Unlike general-purpose search engines, kid-safe search engines won't accidentally display links to pornographic or bomb-making websites. Try one of the following:
Ask Jeeves for Kids
http://www.ajkids.com
CleanSearch
http://www.cleansearch.com
Go.com
http://www.go.com
Yahooligans
http://www.yahooligans.com
Multimedia search engines
Most search engines help you find text, but what if you want to find a song, a picture, or a video clip? Rather than waste your time using a general purpose search engine to find an MP3 file of your favorite band, try using a special multimedia search engine instead. These multimedia search engines specialize in searching only for specific audio, graphic, or video files.
Here are some of the more popular multimedia search engines:
Ditto

FAST Multimedia Search

SpeechBot.net
http://speechbot.research.compaq.com
MIDI Explorer

Regional search engines
Search engines often include websites from all over the world. If you'd rather limit your search to a specific region or country, try using one of the regional search engines listed in Table 1-1 instead.
