Highway61.com is listed as one of the most popular
metasearch engines in the All-in-One Search Pages site listings
of Yahoo.com. As you know, Yahoo is the web's most popular
site.
Highway61.com can be found
here, listed highly among million dollar companies,
by our second favorite search engine, Google.com. We don't have
access to the startup funding the folks in the top 20 do,
but then again, we only lose several thousand a month, rather
than burning through millions.....heh, heh, just joking.
Here we see a very fine listing of foreign search engines
from the University of Texas Online Library. Included
in the listings are many search engines categorized by their
areas of expertise. UT Library
Online - University of Texas
Who hasn't heard of the University of California
Berkeley Library? This very fine library site
discusses metasearch engines, included definitions, the
good, the bad, and the ugly, as well as their favorite sites.
UC
Berkeley - Teaching Library Internet Workshops
Glasgow
University Library has a master list of search engines
here at this site.
RefDesk.com is definitely
one of our favorite sites. This search engines resource
page contains a rather extensive list of the various search
engines on the net.
The University
of Nebraska's IANR search pages are not as extensive
as other sites mentioned here but they do have one thing
the others don't. They have a list of agricultural
search engines. How about that!

SCENE
I. Alexandria. A room in CLEOPATRA's palace.
Enter
DEMETRIUS and PHILO
Nay, but this dotage
of our general's
O'erflows the measure: those his goodly eyes,
That o'er the files and musters of the war
Have glow'd like plated Mars, now bend, now turn,
The office and devotion of their view
Upon a tawny front: his captain's heart,
Which in the scuffles of great fights hath burst
The buckles on his breast, reneges all temper,
And is become the bellows and the fan
To cool a gipsy's lust.
Flourish. Enter ANTONY, CLEOPATRA,
her Ladies, the Train, with Eunuchs fanning her
Look, where they come:
Take but good note, and you shall see in him.
The triple pillar of the world transform'd
Into a strumpet's fool: behold and see.
If it be love indeed,
tell me how much.
There's beggary in the love that can
be reckon'd.
I'll set a bourn how far to be beloved.
Then must thou needs find out new heaven,
new earth.
Enter an Attendant
News, my good lord, from Rome.
Grates me: the sum.
Nay, hear them, Antony:
Fulvia perchance is angry; or, who knows
If the scarce-bearded Caesar have not sent
His powerful mandate to you, 'Do this, or this;
Take in that kingdom, and enfranchise that;
Perform 't, or else we damn thee.'
How, my love!
Perchance! nay, and most like:
You must not stay here longer, your dismission
Is come from Caesar; therefore hear it, Antony.
Where's Fulvia's process? Caesar's I would say?
both?
Call in the messengers. As I am Egypt's queen,
Thou blushest, Antony; and that blood of thine
Is Caesar's homager: else so thy cheek pays shame
When shrill-tongued Fulvia scolds. The messengers!
Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide
arch
Of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.
Kingdoms are clay: our dungy earth alike
Feeds beast as man: the nobleness of life
Is to do thus; when such a mutual pair
Embracing
And such a twain can do't, in which I bind,
On pain of punishment, the world to weet
We stand up peerless.
Excellent falsehood!
Why did he marry Fulvia, and not love her?
I'll seem the fool I am not; Antony
Will be himself.
But stirr'd by Cleopatra.
Now, for the love of Love and her soft hours,
Let's not confound the time with conference harsh:
There's not a minute of our lives should stretch
Without some pleasure now. What sport tonight?
Hear the ambassadors.
Fie, wrangling queen!
Whom every thing becomes, to chide, to laugh,
To weep; whose every passion fully strives
To make itself, in thee, fair and admired!
No messenger, but thine; and all alone
To-night we'll wander through the streets and
note
The qualities of people. Come, my queen;
Last night you did desire it: speak not to us.
Exeunt MARK ANTONY and CLEOPATRA with their train
Is Caesar with Antonius prized so slight?
Sir, sometimes, when he is not Antony,
He comes too short of that great property
Which still should go with Antony.
I am full sorry
That he approves the common liar, who
Thus speaks of him at Rome: but I will hope
Of better deeds to-morrow. Rest you happy!
Exeunt
