INTERNET SEARCH

If you're trying to find a particular site or document on the Internet or just looking for a resource list on a particular subject, you can use one of the many available on-line search engines. These engines allow you to search for information in many different ways - some search titles or headers of documents, others search the documents themselves, and still others search other indexes or directories.

SEARCH ENGINES

INFOSEEK SEARCH: InfoSeek is a comprehensive and accurate WWW search engine. You can type your search in plain English or just enter key words and phrases. You can also use special query operators:
THE LYCOS HOME PAGE: HUNTING WWW INFORMATION: This search engine, served by Carnegie Mellon University, will allow you to search on document titles and content. Its May 1 database contains 3.75 million link descriptors and the keywords from 767,000 documents. The Lycos index is built by a Web crawler that can bring in 5000 documents per day. The index searches document title, headings, links, and keywords it locates in these documents.
WEBCRAWLER SEARCHING: This engine allows searches by document title and content. It is part of the WebCrawler project, managed by Brian Pinkerton at the University of Washington, which collects documents from the Web.
