HELPFUL HINTS ON SEARCHING

PLEASE NOTE : Using these hints will depend on the Search Site you are using. Always go to "How To Search" or a similar area in that site, to learn what hints work best with each Search Engine.
HINTS :
1. Use lower case whenever possible.
2. To search for 2 or more words together place them inside quotation marks and/or place a + between them.
3. With some sites, such as Infoseek, ask for one word or term, then "refine the search" and ask for the second word, then the third.
4. If you are not satisfied with the results of your search using one Search Site, try the same search again using a different site. The results will usually be very different.
5. Familiarize yourself with the differences between sites. Some sites are SUBJECT DIRECTORIES (Yahoo, for example), while others are "search engines" that look for WORDS (Alta Vista, ExCite, HotBot, Lycos and Infoseek look for words). MetaCrawler is one of several META SEARCH ENGINES that search other search engines.
6. If you still need help, you may want to visit one of several web sites that are Web Search Tutorials, such as :
Mining Company, Explanation of search engines + search tips.
