Search Engines List
Phil Bradley has long kept a list of search engines by subject need that librarians tell me they love! And I felt it was high time to remind people of its existence. So take a look at Finding Information: Search Engines. Phil lists search engines by type, strengths, and more. Basically - if you were thinking "I need a search engine that does X" and didn't know where to go, Phil's site would be a good one. Some examples of categories:
- seeing recent additions to search engines
- search engine test beds
- academic resources
- health-related resources
- moving images
- sounds
- current affairs
I can honestly say that I turn to this site whenever I need to do a specialized search, and it has never let me down. The list is so long at this point that it's a bit unwieldy by its very nature. But just do a CTRL+F on the page for the type of info you need, and you'll probably find that Phil has something to meet it.

Aww, shucks! Thanks Sarah - I'm glad that people like it and find it useful. I'll look at your point on navigation and see if I can find a way of making it better. It's a very simple page, and doesn't have any of the bells and whistles you so often see these days, but I prefer it that way, and so it would seem, do others!
