Search engines are the indexes of
the internet, although there are many good ones, those listed below we
have found the most useful for locating resources. A major problem with
automated search engines can be the sheer number of results, many
being irrelevant. Try to be quite specific and use phrases where the
search engines allow rather than single words. Understanding how search engines work
and using some of the advanced techniques that they employ can make
searching, easier, less frustrating and more ultimately more successful.
If you are new to searching time spent now reading the guides can save
hours of frustration later. Ask Web power users, and they'll tell you
that Google is the best search engine, bar none. This unassuming,
bare-bones engine returns accurate search results at lightning speed.
Newer browsers may prefer the "user friendliness of Ask-Jeeves.
Our best advise is to read the guides and then try out the various
search engines and "bookmark" the ones that you find most
useful.
