These resources add new links when users send new addresses to the owner of the index. Thus, the quality of
the index is influenced by the clientele, and more frequently used indices tend to grow faster.
Most of these sites contain both hypertext indexes (hierarchical lists) and the abilility to search the database
by specifying a query.

Robot Generated Databases
These databases are generated by various robot web searchers (many of the robots were developed as
Computer Science thesis projects). Some of the databases also allow users to provide input.
The quality of these databases depends crucially on the specific robot software. They tend to be
comprehensive, but also overwhelming in their detail since no human is organizing the data into
manageable packets.
Most databases are searched by specifying a query. A few contain browseable indexes (hierarchical lists).
- AltaVista Developed by Digital.
- The WebCrawler Database
- EINET Galaxy. Contains both index and query abilities. Developed
by a commercial vendor, so it tends to be complete.

- NIKOS. A joint project between Rockwell
Network Systems and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, to create a fast and friendly Internet Resource Locator.
- RBSE's URL Database
- Lycos. Comprehensive, but frequently hard to access due to large amount of traffic at the site.
