Searching the Internet

 

 

 

There are different ways of searching the Internet. You can use a variety of search engines and web indexes. Tips for Better Searching are also available.  No search engine searches everything; you may want to try the same search in more than one search engine.  It is also important to evaluate the source of your information.
