- How to Search the Web
- "Using the various search tools
on the web is enhanced by knowing how they were actually designed, and
especially by knowing the specific rules--all too often quite different--for
each tool. I have tried to address both these needs. I have arranged the
search engines and catalogs in order of usefulness, provided a link to
them in the title of each section, and then spell out, in short form, the
rules for using them. I have provided some short examples, but for detailed
examples consult the help documentation available at the site. The goal
of this article is to help the new user get the most useful "hits" when
using the various tools. At the end I have placed a handy little table
which summarizes certain common characteristics among the search engines,
some general search tips, and cross-references to other useful articles."
