Ask Jeeves for Kids! - Why doesn't someone invent a kid-safe search engine that lets you type in a real question rather than all those plusses and minuses and quotes and other weird terms? So, you could just type in "I want information on the SuperSoaker 3000," and you'd get back just a few targeted sites, not 23,000 choices! And if you weren't the World's Greatest Speller, the search engine would check the spelling of your question, too. You could type in "I need a map of Arizonia," and it would ask you if you really wanted Arizona. Why doesn't someone invent a search tool like that? Guess what, someone did. Why not go and Ask Jeeves?

SuperPages : Yellow Pages - Search for a business phone number by category, name, or state. There are also "idea" pages with suggestions on whom to contact for back-to-school supplies, travel information, and lots more. One of the ideas is an expedition into your closet to have a "try-on day" to see what still fits before you shop for new school clothes. Maybe your little brother can fit into your old stuff now.
WhoWhere?! - Finding addresses should always have been this easy. We don't just mean e-mail addresses. We mean street addresses and phone numbers. You can also find people's home pages with the search tools here. Another cool thing is to find other people interested in the same things you are--or people who went to the same school or summer camp. That's called the Communities feature, so check it out. You can also find personal and business home pages, toll-free phone numbers, and more (we find something new every time we visit). There are English, French, and Spanish versions of this page.
Yahoo! - You can browse Yahoo! simply by clicking on the various categories listed on each page. Search Yahoo! by entering a word (or a few words) into the seach box that appears on every page in the directory. Combine the two strategies and you can "browse and then search" or "search and then browse." You should search Yahoo! when you are looking for a web site and you know its title. You should search Yahoo! when you are looking for a specific topic. You should search Yahoo! when you want to see where in Yahoo! a particular web site is listed. Now you know when to search Yahoo!.
