As information on the WWW proliferates by the minute, it becomes a more and more valuable resource. Locating the information you want requires using one or more of the numerous Internet search engines, which catalog and organize Web information in various ways. There are services which are not search engines themselves, but which gather various search programs (and sometimes additional resources) together, allowing you to conveniently present your query to a number of them, sometimes simultaneously. These pages provide information about and access to the current search engines and services.
Adding a URL to a search engine
For people or companies with a home page on the WWW, you can either wait around for a search engine to 'discover' your site, which might take a while, or you can actively submit your address (URL) to the various engines. Most search engines have a facility to let you add your own URL to their index. Here's how:
For Alta Vista, you click on Help, then at the bottom of the screen click on Add URL. For HotBot, the ADD URL link is on the search page, below the search form. InfoSeek has Add Site at the bottom of their search form, which is the same for InfoSeek Ultra. OpenText has a Submit Your URL link at the bottom of their search page. And Add a URL to Excite.
There are also numerous pay and free services which will submit your URL to multiple search engines for you, such as Submit-It!, and pages like Add-Me which let you add your URL to numerous engines for free with a single form.
