But the human-indexed search services (like ) often can't find what you want because they're only able to index a small fraction of the entire web (since they're human.) So you're left with the uneasy (but probably accurate) sense that what you want is out there somewhere ... but you're no closer to finding it. The truly amazing new solution: A couple of extremely bright guys at Stanford University solved the Web Search Engine Problem once and for all, creating the last search system you will ever need: http://google.com/ What's their secret? They use Linux-based web robots to explore and index the entire Web. But then they determine the QUALITY of each resulting link based upon the QUALITY of the OTHER sites that link INTO that site. So, THE ONLY WAY a site can be highly rated, under Google, is if other highly rated sites have links pointing into it! It's brilliant. This simple concept works SO WELL that every single person I've told about Google has switched permanently to using Google as their Web search engine of choice. It really is that good! And of course it's free! ... so give it a shot for yourself!: <a href= "http://google.com" >Google</a> _________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
