Search Strategies For The Billion Page Web

There are three basic strategies that can help you in finding information on the web.  

Human Intelligence
A growing number of sites use human intelligence to sort and improve search results. Explore them to find one that matches your style.

  • Yahoo has many rivals now, but continues to rule the search space using a directory structure. 
  • About.com takes a community-style approach, with separate topical sites created by subject specialists. 
  • LookSmart uses 'Webrarians' to organize and prioritize content into more than 100,000 categories, using a directory structure
  • Blink is one of a number of online bookmark services that let you take advantage of Netizens' collective wisdom by accessing a database of favorite bookmarks
Relevance Technology
If you don't get the results you want from human-guided services, try one of the newer sites that use computer algorithms to predict relevance:
  • Direct Hit analyzes the activities of millions of searchers to determine the most relevant sites. (Essentially you follow in the footsteps of other searchers)
  • Google started as a Stanford project to find relevant pages based on the number of inbound links. PC Magazine editors tout its relevant results
  • Yep.com is a newcomer produced by WebSideStory. Yep promises unique search results based on quality (tracking surfing habits) and popularity (average number of page views)

Brute Force
When bigger is better, try one of these sites that focus on quantity. They may be your best bet if you're looking for something particularly obscure. Just be prepared to sift through lots and lots of results.
