Search Engines

Search engines allow you to search a database of Internet sites by entering keywords relating to topics that interest you.

Indexes

Indexes allow you to browse through lists of categories to arrive at a list of relevant Internet sites. The distinction between search engines and indexes is somewhat arbitrary, since many search engine sites also provide indexes.

Meta-Search / Multi-Search Engines

Meta-search engines allow you to search multiple search engines at one time; multi-search engines provide acess to multiple search engines from a single site.
