Update to Search Engines Compared
Feature article at LLRX.com by Diana Botluk. She compares the following search engines: Alta Vista, Excite, Go, Google, HotBot and Lycos. Published 15 July 2000 (available in pdf or html).

Froogle
Service of the Google search engine - specifically for searching for products available online

IXQUICK Metasearch
Claims to be the world's most powerful metasearch engine. Searchable in English and other languages. Also can choose to search the whole web or just news or pictures. You can add this search engine to your own site.

Yahoo
Good search engines. Unlike most universal search engines it contains an Australian page - Yahoo Australia and New Zealand - which is useful in limiting your searches if you are only interested in Australian sites. It contains a general links page - Yahoo Law Links Page - covering law links world-wide.

Lycos
Lycos is a fairly comprehensive search engine

Excite
Excite is another great search engine with it's own law section.

Dogpile Search Engine
This is a fun and easy search engine.
