Sure, I've been using this engine the same as the Google users,

alltheweb.com ,

because it's intuitive and faster than hell. Just type the name.

There is an extra advantage - if it's a large, complex site, I might get exactly the page I'm looking for in the first ten hits, Eg:

alltheweb.com

Or, if I'm not sure where I want to start, I can do something like this:

alltheweb.com ,

sort of like being in a library reading room.

Also, I like using Netscape, (because I can get direct internet connection) but its Bookmarks engine is wretched because I have to alphabetize by hand, so I don't want the bookmarks file to become too big.

One thing I didn't see in the article was Google's caching of web pages. I believe that they cache all pages that the web crawler encounters. I don't know what their normal cache pattern is, but if fast enough, users could have gotten a view of CNN even when its own servers reached capacity.

To see it - do a search in Google and click on the word "cache". You should see an older page presented.
