Find Web Sites

When searching the web, it's best to:

  1. Become familiar with 1 or 2 search engines. Read the "help" screens to learn the tricks your favorite search engine uses.
  2. Use narrow and specific keywords.
  3. Be flexible. If a search doesn't give you relevant results, try another using different keywords.
  4. Use the "advanced search" option.

Google Help Screen

Consider: What is your favorite search engine? What does the "advanced search" screen of your favorite search engine allow you to do that the regular search screen does not?
