Just awful

by gvassar, Mar 04 '05
I signed on with Excite back in the early days of the internet...when anything and everything was fresh and new, and content trumped ease of use and functionality. Now in 2005 it has become exceeding apparent that Excite.com is the Ford Pinto of email ...

Dependable search engines with results!

by alanbweaver, Aug 05 '01
Pros: easy to use, one of the "grand daddies"
Cons: none really
Excite is one of the better search engines. Many people don't realize that Yahoo is a a PAID directory - sure I use it on occasion but as someone who works with the web, I don't like co's that charge for a listing. I know they have to make $$ but that...

My excite, yeah right

by tcw311, Jun 14 '01
Pros: Provides everything you need for a basic search engine
Cons: poor quality
I think this search engine is average and does not do the job for me. The content of the excite search is mostly unrelated to what I searched for. I definitely do NOT recommend excite to anyone who is looking for good content.
I have used excite...

A Good Portal Site with a Normal Search Engine: Excite.Com

by uribou, Jun 14 '01
Pros: Excite.Com is a very popular portal site.
Cons: You need to pay to be indexed at Excite Search.
As you may know, Excite.Com is a very popular site. Their main focus is to offer the good portal site with a lot of news, shopping mall, useful tools and so on. But in terms of search engines, nothing is special at Excite.Com. In this review, since the...

Pleasant Design, Poor Search

by shanewho, Apr 18 '01
Pros: It has a very pleasant personalized page. Efficient screen estate use.
Cons: It is more difficult to retrieve useful search results.
Excite is one of the more popular search engines on the Internet. Like many of its peers (other than Google), Excite has changed itself from just a pure search engine to more of an Internet portal.

Quite frankly, I do not find Excite too...

No-nosense Approach

by tser1r, Apr 09 '01
Pros: Large database, great advanced search feature.
Cons: none
I added this search engine to my America Online favorites list, and it's pretty much the only one I use now. The thing that turned me on to this search engine was the "Advanced Search" feature, and it's different approach to using keywords. There are...

by chinafrog, Mar 01 '01
Pros: fast, quick
Cons: not always the best search results
Excite search engines provide great service when I am doing research on a topic online. I find it to be very helpful when I need to gain certain information. And so I have created some tips for evaluating sites when it boils down to whether the...

Isn't This EXCITING?!?!.... Alright, Terrible Title I Know, But Good Review I Promise

by DrainOWHAT, Feb 25 '01
Pros: awesome options and very easy to operate
Cons: using it as a search engine is satisfactory but not as east as yahoo
Well first of all before I get started I just want to clear something up quickly. I basically use excite for its "home page" characteristics as opposed to its main purpose as a search engine. Now I know that sounds like it defeats the purpose, but I...

Excite-More Like a Magazine than a Search Engine

by Skayfox, Dec 17 '00
Pros: easy to navigate, good customer service, entertaining
Cons: does not invite a person to search for information
Excite seems more like a multipurpose online magazine than a search engine. It is a good place to get updates on news, weather, answer the poll question of the day, etc. It really does not seem to invite the user to search for information.Excite allows...

The times they are a-changin'.

by Amaranth, Dec 11 '00
Pros: Good speed, decent results.
Cons: Many irrelevant results, advanced search not easy to work with, media searches mediocre.
Excite Corp: If I had but one thing to say to your CEO, it would be this. Get with the times! As the search engine market veers toward specialized results and metasearch engines, Excite remains a dinosaur among us. The search is clumsy and difficult to...

The Mighty Mite Excite

by crash_szostak, Nov 30 '00
Pros: Seperate searches for just Canadian Sites, TONS of web sites in there search engine
Cons: I find the design to be a little cluttered and busy with lots of information on the homepage
Excite search engine is high quality just like most other search engines. It basically comes down to personal preference. If you like how the site looks and you find it easy to use, then you will use it more often.

What I think sets...
