Internet Tools

As the number of information resources available on the Internet continues to increase, there has also been a substantial growth in the search tools available to help users find the particular information that interests them. InterNIC Directory and Database Services now offers an online listing of search tools organized by type of search. The listings include tools that help users search NetNews, tools that search for particular software on the net, tools that search for people by name, and various other search categories.
