Web searching

Know the engines

• Find an engine (or engines) that works for you. Don't worry about which is “best”, find one which works well for you.
• Learn its address. Bookmark it in your browser, or add a link to your home page.
• Consider specialized search engines
• Don't just rely on your browser's built-in Search button.
• Read the help screens, and take advantage of your favourite engine's features.
• Look at the ‘advanced’ features, e.g. Boolean searches, proximity, etc.
• Keep up with their developments.
• Periodically try other engines – a new one may become your favourite.
