Deep Search Engines vs. Standard engines Comparison

There are two main types of search engines scouring the web today, Deep Search Engines and Standard Search Engines.

Deep search engines are constantly searching the World Wide Web for new and updated pages. These search engines are useful when searching for obscure and hard to find information. By searching for popular subjects like entertainment and games the number of results returned would be in the millions, making it extremely difficult to find exactly what you're looking for.

This is a list of the Deep Search Engines that use spiders to update their pages:
Alta Vista Excite Hot Bot Infoseek Lycos
Northern LightWebcrawler Planet Search


Standard Search Engines are the most practical for finding general and popular areas of interest. The only pages you'll find with these search engines are those that have been submitted directly to them. Typing in a search keyword topic brings up information that is relevant to that specific topic, guaranteed. This eliminates the need to browse millions of results that may or may not have anything to do with what you're looking for.

Examples of standard search engines:
