FreeFind
I have now added FreeFind - which offers several advantages: I am
able to update the indexing at any time - which means as soon as I post a
new page, I can get it added to the site data base immediately; and it allows
includes a service for monitoring of a page. By signing up to be notified
any time the New page changes, you can keep current on any changes
or additions.
monitor link
If you click on the monitor link it will take you to a page where you can
enter your email address (which they say they never sell.) They do give
you the option of signing up for a bunch of different categories of email
advertising - which you can avoid by simply clicking on the Skip button.
FreeFind also generates a site map, in three different versions
- but all three are basically just list of the pages, so the site index page
is a better bet for site map purposes. I am not sure how well the What's
New feature works yet - as right now it shows most of the pages as new. FreeFind
indexed the pages of my site that no other search engine can - so includes
the updates and second pages of longer articles, etc. - a total of 176 pages
(as of September 1, 2001.)
FreeFind results pages will include a banner advertisement
on the top of the page and a shopping search at the bottom.
