Search engines are a great way to navigate the Internet
and find exactly what you want!
One of the great features of the Internet is the amount of information
it contains. Information that used to be limited to regional distribution
via newspapers, television, and flyers is now available on a national and
even global basis. But all this newly available information comes at a
price: confusion. Don't worry! Another great thing about the Internet is
that people come up with solutions for its problems. Enter Internet Guides
and Search Engines...
You can enter keywords (such as agriculture, weather, education) and
the Search Engines will seek out Web Sites that contain the information
that you requested. There are many different types of Search Engines, and
we have collected the best of the bunch in order to make your Internet
experience more effective and enjoyable.
If you don't find what you're looking for using one Search Engine, try
another. The results will vary from engine to engine. Try to be specific
about the topic you're searching for.
One handy shortcut to keep in mind is the search wildcard, which can be
either a question mark (?) or an asterisk (*) inserted anywhere between
your keywords. This comes in handy when you want to be able to find slight
variations of your search terms. For example, garden? will find web sites
for gardens, gardening, gardeners, and so on.
Each Search Engine has explanitory notes on how to properly use it for
the best results. Simply click on any Search Engine below, and off you go!
