Originally provided by the University of Washington, this site is now maintained by America Online, although you don't need an America Online account to use it. It allows phrase, Boolean AND/OR/NOT, phrase, and proximity searching. Relevance feedback is available (if you select "Show Summaries"), as is a short summary taken from the page itself. It is a good basic searcher for a "quick and dirty" search. Webcrawler also contains a browsable index in 15 subject categories.
