Courtois, Martin P., William M. Baer, and Marcella Stark,
"Cool Tools for Searching the Web" ONLINE 19(6) (November/
December 1995):15-32. -- One of the most difficult choices
facing a user of the World Wide Web is which search tool
to use from among the couple dozen that are available.
Although hampered by the long publishing cycle of print
publications (the article lacks information on Inktomi and
Excite, both recently released search tools), this is an
excellent and thorough review of seven Web search tools.
Besides the handy chart of features, the authors provide
some excellent sidebars (including one on sites that offer
"one-stop" searching of multiple tools) in addition to the
descriptive text. Anyone wanting to know more about the
different Web search options would do well to sit down
with this article and their favorite Web client. The URLs
alone are well worth tracking down this article. -- RT
