This profile of Search.com is continued from page one.

Game Search on Search.com is a valuable resource for any serious gamer. Search gaming resources such as Computer Gaming World, GameZone, and Gameguru. You have the ability to choose which one of these you'd like to keep in the gaming search by just checking or unchecking the boxes next to each link. Just like all the other search categories at Search.com, your results are nicely divided by site/category. I really like this feature.

Search.com Advanced Search and Preferences

Search.com Advanced Search is relatively good; I think that there could be a few more options on there, such as a better search by date feature. You can also set your Search.com preferences, including changing the look of Search.com or previewing Web sites before you click them with a nifty thumbnail option.

Search.com Specialty Searches

You can view a list of all that Search.com has to offer metasearch-wise at Search.com Specialty Searches. Some of the options here are truly outstanding, including: You also might want to check out Search.com's FAQ that basically deals with commonly asked questions or user issues that come up.

Why Should I Use Search.com?

The more I dug around Search.com, the more I realized that this is a seriously underused wealth of information. Search.com offers not one meta search engine, but dozens, covering a whole gamut of topics. I highly recommend Search.com as an above average, relevant, and easy to use meta search engine.
