The Internet is now the world’s most extensive and powerful information resource. And the mass of detail is growing daily.
But the sheer number of sites is also its biggest challenge. There is no central repository for all this information, nor it is catalogued or sorted in an orderly fashion. Locating exactly what you want can be very frustrating and time consuming. Just where do you start?
But it doesn’t have to be that way. The Net-Works Guide to Searching the Internet is designed to show Internet users - from novices to veterans - how to locate information quickly and easily.
Mark Neely, best-selling author of many Internet guides, uses jargon-free language, combined with many illustrations, to answer such questions as:
* Which techniques and Engines work best for your needs?
* What is the real difference between true ‘search’ sites and online directories, and how do you decide which one to use?
* How do the world’s most powerful Search Engines, such as Yahoo!, AltaVista, Lycos, and Excite, really work?
* What have the emerging “new generation” of Search Engines, including Google, Raging Search and Ask Jeeves, got to offer?
* Are there any ‘special tricks’ that will help you find what you want, faster? (The answer is a definite YES!)
This book also demystifies complex search techniques involving Boolean operators, as well as explaining how to use Meta-Search Search Engines to check several Search Engines at the same time.
There is also a BONUS chapter covering Intelligent Agents — special high-tech personal search programs that can be installed on your computer to search the Internet on your behalf, automatically.
