| Avatar Search | A special search engine for the "Occult Internet". A surprisingly good way to find game ideas. | Tool |
| Ask Jeeves | A question-asker search engine, that actually presents some fairly good tree-logicked questions to steer you toward the right material. Good for those really odd gaming searches. | Tool |
| NetGuide | Another way to look for information on the Web, actually a bit better than an engine if you're adept at classification and referencing. | Tool |
