<p align="center">The Galaxy database is small and appears to enter submissions in an
irregular manner. It has never listed my websites after many submissions. You may <a
href="http://galaxy.tradewave.com/cgi-bin/annotate?Other">add your website</a> if you
wish. Galaxy has a directory format also, but the categories are not well thought out and
the hierarchical index seems haphazard at best. The directory appears not to be integrated
with the searchable database so you need to look in both places. I took a look at Galaxy's
<a href="http://galaxy.tradewave.com/galaxy/new-links.html">What's New</a> page and found
that Cody, Wyoming was new. I then did a search for &quot;Cody Wyoming&quot; using
&quot;all words&quot;. Galaxy returned 7 sites, but did not include the new listing for
Cody, Wyoming. If you want <a href="http://galaxy.tradewave.com/howto.html">help</a>, it's
available. Galaxy has one of the best output formats and options of all the search
engines. Its terse function returns a compact listing with just the most relevant
information. Its verbose function returns comprehensive well-formated information with
virtually everything it has in an easy to read and understandable presentation. For those
who are interested, information is available about the producers of Galaxy, the <a
