CUSI at Northwestern University
CUSI -
configurable unified search index
This document is based on
CUSI, a project
of Martijn
Koster of NEXOR.
See about
this service for background information and the
list of
CUSI services.
Lynx users should use this
radio
button version of CUSI until the Lynx bugs are fixed.
These are some indices of WWW-based information
useful for finding well-known services.
The CUI W3
Catalog is a fairly comprehensive semi-automated
high-quality global index.
Yahoo is a
hierarchical subject-oriented catalogue for the Web.
ALIWEB is
semi-distributed/automated special purpose global index for the Web.
The
GNA Meta-Library is becoming more out of date as it is
maintained manually, but has got non-WWW references also.
CityScape's Global
On-Line Directory boasts to be the "the ultimate
Internet reference" soon, but is also manual so I'm not so
sure.
DA-CLOD
is a database where anybody can add URLs.
comp.infosystems.announce refers to your local News system
for the actual articles (which may no longer exist).
These indices of WWW-based resources are generated by
robots, and therefore very complete, but are more likely to
find too much information.
Lycos
allows you to search on document titles and content.
JumpStation
is a comprehensive index in the UK,
The EInet Galaxy
also has a subject tree.
If they don't help, the
RBSE URL Search, the
Nikos,
or the
WebCrawler might.
These are not WWW-based, but may well be of interest.
Veronica searches Gopherspace, but is very busy
and often gives far too many matches to be useful.
The
WAIS Directory of servers will find relevant WAIS
sources.
The
Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource
Guides has lists of resource guides.
ArchiePlex
is a full-featured
Archie
gateway for the web, and locates files on Anonymous FTP sites.
The Language List
and the
Free Compilers and Interpreters List should be obvious.
NEXOR's
Mac Software Catalog is a Web view of Michigan's Mac Archive.
The
IBMPC Windows Archive
is part of the
HENSA/Micros archive, and the
Unix Archive
is also maintained by HENSA in the UK.
Four SHASE
searches are offered:
UMich-Mac
and Info-Mac combined archive;
CICA
and SIMTEL (MS-DOS and MS-Windows) archives combined;
Linux,
Simtel UNIX and Garbo UNIX archives combined; and
alt.src
and comp.sources.{unix.misc} archives combined.
SHASE is a
search engine for the Virtual Shareware Library (the combination of 15
of the biggest software archives and their mirrors; up to 3 archives
are searchable at once).
There is no single good way for finding people on the
internet. The
NetFind Gopher is uses a number of different sources
to locate people. Also check the list of USENET authors. This
UFN Search will find people in the X.500 directory.
You can query the
Internet domains database to look for organizations on the net.
(Alex is a catalogue of electronic texts on the internet)
