Usage: Choose a category, enter a keyword, select the search engine and press submit.
CWI Indices:
The personnel database mirrors the program 'cwi'. The cwi.misc and cwi.help are our archived local newsgroups accessed through a WAIS index. The Acronyms index is composed by Bert IJselstein.
WWW Indices:
The CUI W3 Catalog is a fairly comprehensive semi-automated high-quality global index. Nexor's ALIWEB is semi-distributed special purpose global index for the Web. CityScape's Global On-Line Directory boasts to be the "ultimate Internet reference" soon. DA-CLOD is a database where anybody can add URLs. comp.infosystems.announce refers to your local News system for the actual articles (which may no longer exist). JumpStation is a comprehensive index in the UK. The EInet Galaxy also has a subject tree. If they don't help, the RBSE URL Search , the Nomad , or the WebCrawler might. The Lycos index is fairly new.
Other Indices:
These are not WWW-based, but may well be of interest. The Whole Internet Catalog is an up-to-date copy of the appendix in Ed Krol's The Whole Internet Guide. Veronica searches Gopherspace, but is very busy and often gives far too many matches to be useful. The WAIS Directory of servers will find relevant WAIS sources. The Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides has lists of resource guides. E-Mail Discussion Groups is an index to electronic mailing lists.
Software:
ArchiePlex is a full-featured Archie gateway for the web, and locates files on Anonymous FTP sites. The Language List and the Free Compilers and Interpreters List should be obvious. Our Macintosh Archive is a Web view of Michigan's Mac Archive. The IBMPC Windows Archive is part of the HENSA/Micros archive , and the Unix Archive is also maintained by HENSA in the UK. The MS-DOS Archive is the famous SimTel one.
People:
There is no single good way for finding people on the internet. The NetFind Gopher uses a number of different sources to locate people. This UFN Search will find people in the X.500 directory. You can query the Internet domains database to look for organisations on the net.
Documents:
For Internet related standards and proposed standards you can use the RFC Index Search and Internet Draft Index Search at NEXOR. The Unified CS TR Index gives nice HTLM abstracts, and Rick Harris maintains a WAIS database of Computer Science Technical Reports . The CIA World Factbook is the 1993 edition.
Dictionaries:
