InfoSeek Guide is one of the best internet search engines on the web. Infoseek maintains its database of websites as well as anybody and they are fairly quick when you submit an URL. It is fast and very comprehensive. It is simple to use and the information is returned in an attractive and easy to understand format.Web FAQs and categories are also available for searching. You can add, change, or remove the listing of your website in InfoSeek. They provide a good general guide to searching their databases and also some fine search tips. And if that's not enough, InfoSeek provides one of the best help pages I have seen provided by a search engine. Another powerful feature is the capability to find all of the specific URLs that are indexed in Ultraseek with this search parameter, "url:best.com/~mentorms" and to be able to locate all of the pages with links to a specific URL that are indexed in Ultraseek with this search parameter (the "- URL" excludes your pages), "+link:best.com/~mentorms -url:best.com/~mentorms". The search engine is extremely fast. Infoseek claims that search times are independent of the size of their database. If true, Ultraseek will run circles around just about every other engine. The output is formatted in a clean very readable format that looks very much like Alta Vista's output. Unlike Alta Vista, Ultraseek does not print the date of acquisition of the URL that I find to be very useful. A useful comparison of Inforseek's Search Technology with six other major search engines is here also. Information is available about InfoSeek Corporation. (7/15/98)
