Searchme.com
So many search engines, so little time. I realize I just posted on Sputtr last week, but I couldn’t pass up sharing information on another interesting search engine. Mary Ellen Bates of Bates Information Services has a terrific review of Searchme.com. If you are a visual person, you might really enjoy this engine. Others, however, might find the navigation a bit hard to get used to.
I put in the search “Tour de France.” Searchme provides categories to help narrow your search. The categories supplied by the engine for my “Tour” search included cycling, news, movies, and history. Choosing the “cycling” category, the results included Wikipedia, the official tour page and Velo News. All these were quite relevant. Selecting the “news” category however, resulted in some current news stories, but mostly older stories.

Commenters, let's maintain a civil discussion here. Please observe the following guidelines: |
 |
- Do not use profanity or euphemisms for profanity.
- Do not personally attack or bait other commenters.
- Express your own views; don't just argue for argument's sake.
- Sarcasm doesn't work on the Web. Either avoid it or clearly label it so you aren't misinterpreted.
- Don't make the same point repetitively.
- No spam. Link to a commercial site only if it's relevant to the discussion.
- Putting your name on your comments increases their value and credibility. However, if you must conceal your identity, please choose one pseudonym and stick to it. No "sock puppets".
