Summary


The Google Directory provides an alternate way to view and search the Web. Using the Open Content of the Open Directory Project (DMOZ), Google has uses its PageRank technology to enhance the way results are presented when searching the directory. With millions of entries and hundreds of categories you can quickly focus your search.

When you view results you can view them in the traditional Google PageRank order or alphabetical order as you might find them in other directories, such as DMOZ. You can become a part of the DMOZ project by submitting sites to the human-edited directory. If you feel inclined, you can also volunteer to become an editor. There are currently over 20,000 people editing this content.

The Google Directory does not limit its content to English entries. You can view the Directory in one of many languages and search through pages in only that language. The Google Directory, while an older paradigm for organizing Web content, still fulfills an important function, and information from this directory is incorporated into the normal Google Web search when extra information about a topic is available.
