Google Search Engine The oft-used search engine.

Advantages:Broad site coverage; proven reliability.
Disadvantages:Most hits are junk. For example, typing in "Orca Seamount" yields almost invariably data on the Orca Whale.

Scirus Research ToolThis science-only tool searches an indexed archive in the millions for scientific information on your query.

Advantages: Science-Only Search means no "Junk" site hits, as with Google or others.
Disadvantages: Simply too refined; many valuable (non-scientific, usually) sources left out; most hits are Digital Journals that are subscription-only.
