This method is especially useful for finding company and university Web sites, as illustrated in the following examples. Let's say you want to find the home page for Cornell University. And you already know that since Cornell is an educational institution, the domain will end in edu. The same logic can be applied to corporate Web sites. If this method doesn't help you find what you're looking for, you can also try one of the many search engine home pages available on the Web. . . .
Search engines are some of the most powerful and utilized resources on the Web.
These enormous interactive databases allow us to scour most of Web space in a matter of seconds in search of just about anything. Each search engine is a little different, but the general idea is that you input words related to the information you are looking for and the engine will give you a list of sites containing those words. In general, the more specific you can be, the better. We encourage you to make the most of them. Secondly, you may peruse each database by choosing from a list of general topic areas and narrowing your search from there.
