Capsule Comments

Netscape Search pulls results primarily from the Open Directory Project, a human edited directory powered by volunteers. Where Open Directory does not return results, Netscape Search turns to results pulled from the Google database.

Submission Notes

  • Their Add A Site feature offers to submit your URL to 400 search engines.  This isn't recommended.
