Dear Colleagues,
> Have you come across this?
> <<SearchEdu.com.htm>>
> There is also a review of it in this month's ResearchBuzz News:
>
> <http://www.searchedu.com/> restricts its search to education sites. They
> say they have 20 million pages in their database and, like Google,
> SearchEdu keeps a copy of each indexed page in a cache so even if you
> can't connect to a site you can still see a result page. As you may know,
> AltaVista can also restrict searching to certain types of domains, so I
> decided to run a little test to see how the results varied when I searched
> SearchEdu.com, and when I searched AltaVista.com and restricted the search
> results to .edu domains.
> researchbuzz on SearchEdu: 48 results
