Yahoo - Originally the best directory engine (see below). Now a comprehensive search and service site competing with Google. Ask.com - Formerly Ask Jeeves. Alternative smart search engine. |
| Search Web Using Directories: Directories are maintained by people and selectively include entries organized by category. Valuable for searches on topical areas. Mostly replaced by keyword search engines. |
Yahoo - The granddaddy of directories - and the best - using a small, professional staff to select and categorize entries. Even though Yahoo has gone into portal and services, it still maintains its directory, and it's still good. Google Directory - Yeah, Google does directories, too!
