Definition: There
isn't a more important skill that you will need to learn now that you are on the internet
than the ability to find information you are looking for. This is a much easier task said
than done. It takes practice to learn how to form the best queries to get a successful
match. There is no single online search tool which has the ability to index the entire
contents of the Internet. All the various search engines use different techniques and
tools to build indexes of information on the Internet. When you search using different
engines each will give you a slightly different picture of the web that they see. That is
why it is important to read through the search engines description, search options, and
other details before you attempt your search. Try different search engines and different
queries and pick the one that you are most comfortable with.
