SEARCH ENGINES

 

Searching for information on the net is a frustrating act at times.  Do not stop at one search engine.  Use several of them until you find one which seems to be hitting on the information you seek.  None of the search engines have all the sites and none are perfect.  

Also, try different search words as well as seek the advise given by the individual search engines on how to find sites.  Good Luck and Long Live the Net. (Kidding)
