Tips on Internet Searching:

There are many popular web search engines. Here I list out some with brief introduction.

Hints: For needles in a haystack, try Google, Alta Vista and Lycos.  If failed, it probably isn't on the Web. For a general overview, if you are looking for starting points for further browsing, the directory sites like excite  and Yahoo will probably give you more than you need, with higher relevancy.
