Legal Search Engines
Specialized
Using a specialized legal search engine is a good way to reduce the clutter that usually comes up in general purpose search engine results.
 |
Lawrunner -- Uses the AltaVista search engine and intelligent agents to facilitate legal information searches. |
|
Lawcrawler -- Search the excellent Findlaw directory site, or other law-oriented sites. |
|
Lawguru -- Links to 200 specialized search engines, plus lists of links organized by topics. |
|
The Big Hub Law Section -- Well organized links to many specialized law-related search engines. |
|
Washlaw WEB -- Full-Text Searching -- Washburn University School of Law. |
General
These can be useful for some legal research projects:
|
Open Directory maintains an extensive list. |
|
Search Engine Watch maintains a good list of just the top search engines. |
These are worth special mention:
|
Google -- This relatively new search engine features "high precision, low recall." It is not the best place to go for comprehensive searches, but it frequently returns relevant sites high on the list of sites found. |
|
HotBot -- Large index and good control over searches. |
|
AltaVista -- A longtime favorite that Altavista gives many choices to narrow and refine searches. |
|
FAST Search -- A newcomer that credibly claims to have the largest index. |
|
Excite -- A popular search engine. |
|
Northern Light -- A large index, the ability to cluster documents by topic, and integration of a "special collection" of documents available for a fee. |
