New, Search Engines 2
We're often asked if a directory of every general type search tool exists. The answer is no. However, Michael Wong has just released an impressive directory of over 12,500 search tools. If you enjoy browsing, exploring, and comparing this might just be the place to begin. Michael writes, "I've just launched Search Engines 2, a new directory that offers over 12,500 links to local, regional, national, and foreign internet search engines, web directories, pay per click search engines and meta search engines." Although this directory is large it just contains a fraction of the total search universe especially when it comes to specialized (verticals), fee-based, and site search tools. In other words, Michael has done a great job but just because it's not in the directory doesn't mean it's not out there.
