Many search services, not intending to be comprehensive over all
information, limit their scope to specific subjects, authors, etc.
Instead of the following list of such services, the material should be
organized, as for browsing, by subjects, authors, etc, just as the web
itself is. Here, I'll just include the largest or most interesting
such services.
