Use a Hand-Picked Directory to Avoid Chaotic Results

SUMMARY: Search Google's directory of websites to help weed out strange search engine results.


 

Are your Google searches resulting in almost a chaotic listing of results? If you'd like, instead of searching the entire Internet, you can limit your searches to a handpicked list of websites from the editors of the Open Directory (DMOZ). This may provide fewer results than an open-ended web search, but the results may end up better matching your desired query.

To search the Open Directory through Google, visit this website:

Google Directory: http://directory.google.com/

From here, you can either search through the handpicked results, or browse through various categories of webpages to find what you need.
