Today there are many fine search engines on the Internet including the likes of Google,Yahoo,Search Cactus, Alltheweb, Alta Vista and Excite.Choosing which one is best for you is no easy matter !I dont know who first came up with the idea of search engines but they really deserve a big pat on the back.

Excite (http://www.excite.co.uk) is a relatively popular search engine in Britain and is fairly well organised. You are able to search according to the materials you actually want. With some other search engines,if,for example, you wanted to find photographs,you would have to type in ...’’photographs , "Westminster Abbey"to get photos of this famous London heritage site. However,in Excite you are able to select between web(for the likes of general items and individual web sites),news,photos,MP3s or products; this,of course,enables you to have a much more specific search and that can be a big help.

The search results from Excite.com seem to me to be fairly accurate,although to be frank I havent used this search engine that often compared to Google which is my favourite. It is by no means the fastest search engine on the Internet-Google is much faster- and I dont know how big is database is, or whether it has as many links as,say,Google,Alta Vista or Yahoo.I dont know how many dead links it has,I suppose I have not really checked it that many times.

Overall,my impressions of Excite.co.uk are quite favourable,although it is still not my preferred choice of search engine !Maybe I would give it 3 stars out of 5. What about you ?
