Web Search Gateways

This page represents one of the best ways to find what you want on the Web (and on other servers as well). Providing simple access to 1. Information servers 2. Software 3. People 4. Publications 5. News/FAQs 6. Documentation 7. Other Interesting Things (Jargon, Acronyms, WIRED ...), this page mirrors (with some modifications) the Search Engines organized by the webmasters at UNIGE, Switzerland. Note that UNIGE has added Submit buttons to accomodate Lynx-like browswers. If your interest is topical, also consider looking through the ACTLab's Subject Gateways menu. My hope is the gradually annotate these offerings so suggestions to paradox@actlab will find their way into a new version of this page.
