Understanding Search Engines
The best way to keep up to date with search engines in the US is to visit websites devoted to search and to read their newsletters. One of the oldest sites about search is Search Engine Watch. Although Search Engine Watch was originally designed for webmasters (by webmaster Danny Sullivan), it is a good resource for researchers who want and need in-depth information about the major English-language search services and some country specific engines. Search Engine Watch is also home to Search Day, noted search maven Chris Sherman's daily newsletter. While Search Day is kept current, Search Engine Watch now has many out of date pages.
Stepping into the breach is the superb Pandia Search Central, which offers current search news and an almost endless number of tips, tutorials, guides, and even its own search tools. Pandia has emerged as the premier site for news about and help with search.
