You can use this tool to take a very broad topic and then narrow it down to what you want. This process takes a bit more time than a standard search, but if you only have a very general idea of what you are looking for, it can be a lifesaver. Never assume just because you don't find something on your first attempt that it's not there. And don't be afraid to try another search engine. Not every home page is listed in every engine, and since each one uses a different approach to finding information, something that may give you everything you ever wanted in one type of engine may turn up nothing in another.
Search engines are just about the best thing going on the Internet.
In many ways, it is remarkable that we even have usable engines at all, what with the way the Internet grows so exponentially. Learning to use them is a process that can take some time, but if you learn to use a search engine to the full extent of its power, you'll be amazed at how logical and well-designed they are. E.W.
