This provides concise access to the most useful search engines minus glitzy user interfaces, advertisements and picky controls.

• If you're here to read advertisements, admire pretty pictures and tinker with mysterious search controls, happiness liels in the links in the left column.

• If you're here because you want to search for something, type it in the relevant box in the right column and press the enter key or click the "go" button.

This way of accessing search engines puts your interests ahead of somebody's advertising revenue so the tools on this page sometimes go out of date (webmasters aren't dumb). If you find a broken link, notify Brad Cox and pick a tool that isn't continually changing (web users aren't dumb either).

ToDo: I plan to condense this page into a stripped down minimalist search tool that is concise enough to appear on all virtual school web pages. The user interface I'm targeting is (cgi not developed yet):
