Good
for multimedia searches, but beyond that better search tools are
available elsewhere. |

Best
when you're beginning research on the large topic. Good way of
locating a few good sites. If you're trying to locate something more
specific, this is not the tool for you. |

Solid,
straightforward search tool. One to bookmark and use whenever
simplicity and efficiency are more important than bells and
whistles. |

Best
at broad searches, where ratings and category choices help lead to
good sites. In spite of an appealing interface, too many search
glitches to be ranked with the best of the search tools. |

Overall,
a great search engine that is easy to use and offers lots of hopeful
options. |

Powerful,
easy-to-use menus, clean interface, and the effective search
routines all make this an excellent option. |

Of
the two Lycos search tools, HotBot is a stronger option. Lycos.com
is worthy of using occasionally to see if any helpful
"popular" choices pop up. |

Recommended
for older students and adults hoping to conduct comprehensive

A
good all-around tool. Combines many of the strengths of Google with
an extensive directory. Too bad the interface is not smoother and
less cluttered. |
