SEARCH ENGINES

Use a search engine, a database compiled of web sites, to find specific information on a particular topic.  To perform a thorough search, it is advisable to use at least two different search engines.  Remember, too, each search engine approaches searches in a slightly different manner. Read the Help pages, and become familiar with the search strategies of a few search engines.
