In this newsletter I will talk about engines and techniques you can use to help improve your chances for finding what you want. There are at least four major ways of surfing the net - directories, engines, meta tags, and whole language approach. Let's take a look at all four kinds. Directories are for searching for broad subjects like Art or Education. Directories categorize web sites by subject areas.
Directories are like the yellow pages of the phone book.
It divides subjects into major areas. These are robots that perform searches for matching words or tags that the designer used when describing the site. For a more comprehensive search, try using meta-search engines. These search multiple engines simultaneously. Whole Language approach search engines are also meta-search engines, but they allow you to ask a question.
