Search Engines

bulletGoogle -- An excellent search system. What's their secret? They use Linux-based web robots to explore and index the entire Web. But then they determine the QUALITY of each resulting link based upon the QUALITY of the OTHER sites that link INTO that site. So, THE ONLY WAY a site can be highly rated, under Google, is if other highly rated sites have links pointing into it! It's brilliant. (2 websites http://www.alltheweb.com/ and http://www.NothernLight.Com recommended by Langa Fred.)
