Included here are selected services that provide searching of very large indexes of Internet resources. Each service is comprised of 3 components: a "robot" of some sort which automatically collects links, titles, and text from millions of Internet sites; a database where the resource information is stored; and a search engine which allows the user to interrogate the database for sites of interest. Some services also provide a limited browsable subject catalog, but the primary goal of each tool in this section is to provide a large, searchable database of Internet resources. In addition to these large indexes are meta searchers, which take relatively simple input and search many indexes at once.
