GoEureka AU

GoEureka is a well-organised search engine. Its associated sites include the Yellow and White pages, as well as the Whereis street directory. It is powered by AltaVista.

There is a variety of search criteria to choose from on the home page, including the choice of "any words", "all words", "exact phrase", and "words to be excluded". You can also specify the language and domain to be searched. Even more options can be found on the Super Search page. Here you can specify where to search--keywords in a page, URL, or host--and from what date. Boolean searches are supported.

An excellent feature of GoEureka is the ability to set preferences. You can select the type of search you use most frequently, the domain, language, and result format, then set these to appear each time you visit the site. A detailed help section is provided, featuring search tips, a glossary of terms and frequently asked questions.

The results we received were pretty much identical to the AltaVista results, but they were much better organised. GoEureka not only lists the site descriptions and URLs, but it also shows the date the site was last modified, along with the file size. This is a very well-rounded search engine.
