Now, find the information you needed from that book. This is the Internet. Fortunately, there are resources designed to help you find information on the Web. These resources are the World Wide Web Search Engines, and there are many search engines available. You can click on the Search button available in either Netscape or Internet Explorer to search for information on the Web, or you can go directly to a specific search engine page by entering the URL for the engine that you want to use.
Search engines vary in their methods of searching and in the numbers of pages that they search.
To get the best results you will want to perform a search using more than one search engine, or conduct your search using a meta-search engine that will query multiple search engines simultaneously. Often you can find what you're looking for on the Web without using a search engine or directory. In May 1999, FAST announced with Dell a catalogue size of 80 million documents. With the current release, over 300 million documents are now searchable, and will continue to grow with the Web to 1 billion documents and beyond. Truncation is not supported.
