About the Guide!
New users and experienced gurus agree: the Guide is the only search site you need to bookmark. We provide access to twenty of the web's best indexes, and unlike other "meta" sites which require all options to be left on the default settings, the Guide is designed so that a complete set of options is available to custom tailor each search. Don't need all the options? Don't worry! They're already optimized to provide you with the best results.

The Guide first opened on April 12, 1996.

Complete Instructions!
The Amazing Internet Guide is simple to use. The first step is to select an index from the list on the bar to the left. You can simply start at the top of the list and work your way down, or you may want to select your favorite.

Next, fill out the form by entering in the keyword(s) you want to search for in the dialogue box and change the options to suit your needs. If you are unsure what some of the options do, simply leave them in their default positions. Click on the "Reset" button if you want to clear the dialogue box and return all options to their defaults.

The last step is to press the "Submit" button or ENTER. This will send your query off to the selected index. You should receive an answer back quickly, but please be patient as some indexes are bogged down. If you receive an error message please check our troubleshooting document for possible causes and work arounds.

What's New!
[June 14, 1999] - Everything has been checked and verified as working.

Add-an-Index!
Do you know of a great Web-based Internet index that we don't have? Send us the address and we'll check it out! If we add it to our list we'll respond to your email to let you know.

Please note, we only accept indices that search web sites or usenet groups. Also, we cannot submit your sites to the indices on this page. We have provided, however, a link to each site's registration page.
