[edit] Inclusion of specific search engines

I don't think any search-engine external links are appropriate here (or at least none that I've seen here appear to be):

• The article is about servers, not clients or client-services sites. (on further reading, not suer this applies well)
• The links seem to be cherry-picked...not complete but also passing arbitrary editorial judgement (POV and undue-weight issues) for certain search sites.
• There is a whole list of search engines page that seems like an appropriate place to list notable search engines for USENET if any such things exist (they have clear criteria for inclusion and seem able to be comprehensive within them).
• We link to DMOZ already (WP:EL, WP is not a directory of extlinks).

I look forward to reading others' opinions. DMacks 14:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

We could also link to the DMOZ directory of Usenet search engines here. - Ehheh 14:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Seems like it's going slightly off-topic for the page here, but it's not that far off. I won't object if others like it and/or it's a way to resolve the content dispute we seem to be having. DMacks 03:58, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
