Search Engines and Directories:

Alta Vista:The biggest, fastest, and best one out there. Lets you search for exact matches on phrases by putting them in quotes.(i.e., "fixing broken windows")

Lycos: This one is also very good. Not as big and fast as Alta Vista, but very good at pulling in lots of relevant hits.

Excite NetSearch: Just as big as Lycos, almost as good, and searches Usenet newsgroups, too.

InfoSeek:Not as huge as the two above, but very high relevancy. Also searches Usenet newsgroups and non-Internet databases.

Deja News:Searches Usenet Newsgroups. This is an outstanding resource for finding real people out there who have knowledge of a countless variety of topics.

Yahoo:This is actually a Directory, not a search engine. It does have a searchable database though, so it works in a similar fashion.

Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides at the University of Michigan. This is actually a directory of topic specific directories.

All-in-One Search Page. This web site combines the resources of dozens of search engines, more than you'll ever need.

How to find anything on the WWW...

Once you get good at using the search engines and directories listed above, nothing on the internet will escape you. Here are some tips for using these resources more effectively:

Use more than one search engine. It's very common that you'll find web sites with one search engine that are totally different from the sites you found on another.
Read the instructions. These sites all have Help pages you can access to make sure you're doing it right. They each have slightly different rules for how you can search. If you're only going to use one word for your search criteria, you don't have to worry about it, but if you want to really refine your search, you should learn when to use "AND", "OR", "NEAR" and "NOT", if appropriate, with multiple word searches.
Use synonyms. If your looking for drug sites try searching by narcotics, contraband and paraphernalia as well.
Watch your spelling, and try variations of spellings like Neonazi, neo-Nazi, and neo Nazi
