Subject: RE: Tech: tips on searching (Google, etc.)and more
A recent article in PC Magazine reviews a new book on "The 1000 Greatest Web Sites" or some such. While I'm no fan of such collections, the article picks a "Top 50" that might be of interest.

On category near the top of the list is "search engines," and I found some interesting commentary on Google's "traffic weighting" method, if nothing else. Alltheweb is another one that's listed, and the contrast between Google and alltheweb "search philosophies" may be of interest.

View the article at PCMag Top 50 as posted, or avoid the adds and the "click to next page" breaks at Top 50 Print Version
