Hi I want to avoid 3kb pages that have no info,
and only get the several-page essay-style pages

any search engine have this ability or at least display the size of the
website?

in my opinion this feature alone would lead me to replace google.

Google implicitly includes this ability. Have a look at the figure that
appears before "Cached" and "Similar pages". It does not seem to count
graphics in, but it apparently counts the total amount of code (including
files that are included in the main source file). The quantity of viewable
text is not available, I agree.

It would take /you/ more than a couple of billions to replace Google. *wink*

On that particular page, not on the site - and I think OP asked
about whole site.

You can get a rough estimate of domain extent by looking at the total number
of (indexed) pages.

One way of doing this in Google:

site:http://yahoo.com

'plug in' the appropriate domain and see the number of results. Yahoo and
MSN accept the same type of syntax. I have just checked this.

Another way, which relies on Google cache:

http://www.yourcache.com/

Put your domain in the box, run a check and view the number of pages.
