HotBot, owned by Lycos, is a favorite among researchers and the Web elite because of its many power search features. To begin with, it offers the ability to search either HotBot, Google, Lycos or Ask Jeeves in one place. Since it's not a metasearch engine, it won't blend the results, but the benefit is that you can integrate any of HotBot's advanced features into your searches all in one convenient place. For example, you can add any advanced search requirement to your HotBot home page, so you can basically build your own advanced launching pad feature by feature. Date filters? Word filters? Media requirements (returned pages must include images, Shockwave, Real Audio/Video, Java, Acrobat or MP3 files, for example)? No problem! Another worthwhile place to build your advanced searching skills.

Ixquick‘s metasearch tool applies your search query to 13 search engines. Results are ranked according to how relevant each of the search engines consider each returned website to be to your search. You can search for for MP3 files, photo and news as well. Ixquick supports regular searches, natural
language searches and advanced Boolean searches, and knows which engines handle what types of searches. One of the cool features of Ixquick is that you can select or deselect the search engines that you want queried in your metasearch.
It’s also available in 14 languages.

MSN Search does two things that might be of interest to marketing folks: First off, like the old Ask Jeeves, it answers any question that you type into the search box. Now, it can't tell you whether or not you'll get a raise next week, but it does concisely answer most factual questions by drawing upon the vast resources of the Encarta encyclopedia. Should you need more information that the short answer provided, you can access Encarta at no cost for two hours, which saves you the monthly $4.95(US) subscription fee. The second thing that might intrigue you is that MSN Search allows you to easily build filters that will refine all answers delivered to you (click on the Search Builder link). For example, you can search all websites linking to a specific URL for particular keyword, or you can choose to search only those sites that rank highly on the MSN Search popularity scale. Worth a visit.

Real, live human editors have been adding sites to the the Open Directory
since 1998. These volunteers are experts in their categories, and they devote their time to creating the best subject directories humanly possible. Because of the quality listings and the fact that the Open Directory is an open source project (anyone can use it as a directory on their site with a simple licensing agreement), the Open Directory provides the directory listings for many major sites, including Google, AOL and Lycos. By getting your site listed in the Open Directory, you will help it propagate throughout the Web. But to use the Open Directory, do consider going through Google and using the Google Directory version, which incorporates Google's relevancy algorithms and link popularity analysis to organize the listings based on content relevance, rather than alphabetically.

Technorati is a Web log ("blog") research tool which tracks nearly 2 million blogs. Looking for a blog on your subject of interest? Search this blog-only search tool by keyword to find relevant resources. A recent
search for the keyword "marketing" turned up 19,794 fascinating
marketing-focused blogs which this editor needs to explore. Sigh. Other
tools include watchlists of the most popular blogs, the newest blogs, the "buzz" and link trackers which list and count the number of sites linking a particular blog so you can judge just how connected that blog's author is.

Vivisimo is not a search engine, but defines itself as a "clustering engine"
that can organize any pile of data into neat little hierarchies and
categories on the fly. The tool that you access at the home page is basically a demo of its enterprise-level software, but don't look a gift horse in the mouth - it's an excellent research resource for marketers. Type in a search term, and Vivisimo will quickly query multiple search engines (LookSmart, Lycos, MSN and Netscape) for their search results. It will then organize the search results into neatly categorized "clusters" which you can explore based on which cluster seems to most closely match what you had in mind. Vivisimo is definitely a time-saving metasearch engine to know.

Available in 16 languages, this service connects buyers and sellers from nearly 1 million companies and 165 countries. There are several ways to search WAND.

There's also a database of tradeshow listings, global news and country information. Don't forget to check out how to go about listing yourself as a buyer or seller.
