 Search Encyclopedias  



 Wikipedia 

Wikipedia is definitely the best free online encyclopedia, and possibly the best for any price. Search it using Wikipedia's search engine below, otherwise try Clusty's version (clustered results) or Google's search of Wikipedia. There's also WikiSeek, which searches all the external links in Wikipedia as well. WikiWax has a smart search box worth trying. Citizendium is from a founder of Wikipedia, aiming to have more solid, reliable info



 MSN Encarta 

The new kid on the block (and very good), with a reasonable amount of free articles for non-subscribers.



 Britannica 

Britannica.com is the oldest and largest general reference in the English language. The free version is very lightweight, with banner and pop-up ads. There is also a scanned 1911 edition online.



 Bartleby 

Bartleby is a database containing many reference classics, like the Columbia Encyclopedia, American Heritage Dictionary, King James Bible, Oxford Shakespeare, Gray's Anatomy etc.
