I remember some conversation about a home page locator search engine other than google. Any URL's much appreciated! I tried ifind.com, it seems like google. Is there another one.

Don't know what you mean by a "home page locator". Any search engine will retrieve the page on which the search terms or "key words" that you've specified are located. Once you have retrieved any page within a particular site, it is easy to get to its home page, using its URL. Over 2,000 search engines, including many specialized ones, and directories (such as Yahoo!) can be accessed from http://www.beaucoup.com/ . I suggest that you try some of them and see which ones work best for different kinds of searches.........Alex Kuskis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denise N.

My interpretation is that Denise is looking for a search engine that searches by URL, rather than by keyword. At google, you can enter your URL and see how many (and which) websites link to your website. It's not the same as a keyword search. Unfortunately, I cannot help Denise. A question of my own: Which meta-search engines do people on this list recommend, and why do you like each one?

Dear AIR'ers - Sorry I am talking about a "personal home page finder" that directly tries to locate a *personal* home page for any person typed into the search, rather than the last 16 emails they sent or some alumni newsletter item. I tried ifind.com Of course google will often arrive at a personal page eventually - but I thought some of the researchers working on personal web pages has a special tool - I do use google (duh) although I have noted that it does learn a bit - it knows by now after a few go's to find me a CV if possible from a person's name. But I have noted a mini-hiccup sometimes when I didn't use the commercial database that it puts first on the results list - all the other results seemed to come up quite slow and it has quite a few times. So I clicked back on the commercial database and everything was brilliant after that. Working late here - could be hallucinating, too. For years I used altavista - that was then, this is now. To find tourist type information for people coming to Australia/NZ - yahoo.com.au has worked. Cheers, Denise ===== Denise N. Rall, PhD candidate, School of Environ.
