Commercial search engines

These engines create their own databases by scanning other Web sites, often by using "spiders" to analyse the contents of the sites automatically. Many of them provide the facility to search in organised indexes of subject categories in order to aid the search for relevant information. These essential internet tools vary in size, frequency of update, search options, and speed:
