"AlltheWeb Search Engine"

AlltheWeb combines one of the largest and freshest indices with the most powerful search features that allow anyone to find anything faster than with any other search engine.

  • AlltheWeb's index (provided by Yahoo!) includes billions of web pages, as well as tens of millions of PDF and MS Word® files. Yahoo! frequently scans the entire web to ensure that our content is fresh and to eliminate broken links.
  • AlltheWeb offers a variety of specialized search tools and advanced search features, and supports searching in 36 different languages.
  • Our News search (provided by Yahoo!) offers up to the minute news from thousands of news sources all across the globe, with hundreds of stories indexed every minute.
  • Our image, audio, and video searches include hundreds of millions of multimedia files.
Most importantly, AllTheWeb provides you with the controls necessary to find exactly what you are looking for, including some of the most sophisticated advanced search features available.

REACTION:
Searching with AlltheWeb is very easy. You just type in a query and go. Remember, AlltheWeb's results are powered by Yahoo, so whatever results you get at AlltheWeb, you would also receive at Yahoo. This brings up the question of why search at AlltheWeb when you can just search at Yahoo? Well, I think it's just a matter of personal preference. AlltheWeb is very streamlined, offering absolutely nothing but search, and it's a nice alternative to Yahoo's somewhat busy main search page. Really, it's just a matter of personal preference.
