EnglishWhat search-tool categories does Search-22 cover?
Updated
Search-22 organizes its directory of search tools by category, so you can jump straight to the type of search you need instead of scanning one long list. Based on the site's own listing, the visible categories include News Search, General Reference, Health & Medical, Recipes, Humor & Jokes, and Lyrics Search. Each category groups related search tools and engines, and the directory adds more internet search tools over time.
How the categories are structured
Search-22 presents itself as a directory of top internet search tools and search engines, with an all-in-one search interface that lets you search across 22 search tools per category. The category labels act as the top-level navigation: pick a category, then choose from the tools listed under it.
The categories visible on the site are:
- News Search — tools oriented toward current events and news results
- General Reference — broad lookup and reference resources
- Health & Medical — health- and medical-focused search resources
- Recipes — food and recipe search tools
- Humor & Jokes — entertainment and humor-oriented search
- Lyrics Search — song lyric lookup tools
These sit alongside the main search-tool listing, which includes engines such as Bing, Yandex, Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo!, Qwant, Mojeek, Exalead, Ask, Gigablast, Wolfram|Alpha, entireweb, Startpage.com, Zapmeta, Ecosia, Dogpile, WebCrawler, Info.com, MetaCrawler, Searx, So.com, and Boardreader.
What each category is useful for
| Category | Use it when you want to… |
|---|---|
| News Search | Find recent coverage or current events rather than evergreen pages |
| General Reference | Look up facts, definitions, or broad background information |
| Health & Medical | Search health-related topics through dedicated resources |
| Recipes | Find dishes, ingredients, or cooking instructions |
| Humor & Jokes | Browse entertainment or joke content |
| Lyrics Search | Locate song lyrics |
If your task doesn't fit a niche category, start with the general search-tool list — it covers mainstream engines and meta-search tools, which is usually the better fit for open-ended queries.
How to use the directory
- Open Search-22 and look at the category headings.
- Pick the category matching your task (for example, Recipes for a dish, News Search for a recent event).
- Choose a tool from that category's list, or use the all-in-one interface to run your query across multiple tools at once.
- If nothing in the niche categories fits, fall back to the general search-tool listing.
The practical value here is narrowing: instead of guessing which engine handles a niche query well, you start from a category that already matches your intent.
Points to keep in mind
- The category list reflects what the site currently displays; the directory states it continues to add more internet search tools, so the set of categories and tools can grow.
- Search-22 is a directory and interface layer — it links out to third-party search resources rather than hosting results itself.
- The site does not publish pricing details in the available information, so treat any cost or account requirement as something to confirm on the individual tool you choose.
