Website Search Engines and Indexes:

Google - Mostly a search engine. Accurate and very fast, especially for web pages that have other links to them. For today's news, try one of the search engines below.
Yahoo!- Mostly an index, but also searches web pages. Useful if you are looking for a site you know is on the web.
AltaVista - Mostly a search engine. Good for finding web pages as opposed to web sites. Also good for finding images, sound files, and video files.
Northern Light - This search engine groups similar web pages that it finds into folders, which can help you weed out pages you are not looking for.
