Search Engines

Notes on using search pages in a website.

So when to search, why and how. Let's start by looking at some local search engines and seeing how they operate in light of the text's considerations. 

• SFSU Main Page with built in search 
• SFSU Search Page 
• Search at J Paul Leonard 
• ProQuest 
• AltaVista 
• Microsoft 
• Search Engines 
• • Excite for Web Servers 
  • Glimpse 
  • SWISH does not appear to exist. 

Can't use a search engine on your site? Try using SFSU's search engine, available to all account holders on campus. And yes, it can be set to search only your site.

• Using the Search Engine at SFSU
• Atomz, a free search engine for personal sites with less than 500 web pages.
