If you're like me, and use search engines routinely, you'll love this
new Search Engine, AltaVista.  It is extremely fast and claims to have
16 million URLs.  It can be found at http://altavista.digital.com
On our Hash House Harrier pages we include the eight best search
engines, ready configured for use.  AltaVista rightly sits at the top
of the list, even more comprehensive than Lycos.  If you visit our
site, and want to skip all the Hash stuff, jump straight to Search
Engines.

Search Engines!
Many thanks,

I am new to this newgroup & to the net!  I came across this posting
and agree--even tho I am just learning I have found this search engine
to be powerful and not as frustrating as others I have worked with.
Thanks.
