This document discusses 3D searching and 3D search engines. It begins by introducing 3D searching as a method to search for 3D objects in a database based on a query. It then discusses the need for 3D search engines, the methodology which involves query formulation, search process, and search results. Examples of specific 3D search systems from Purdue and Princeton are provided. The advantages, limitations, and future prospects of 3D searching are outlined before concluding that 3D search engines can help find 3D models online, but their use is currently limited.
