Searching Survival Tips

Windriver Search Guide
How to use the best directories and search engines.

Yahoo
It is a directory more than a search engine. Best to search using the directory structure

Alltheweb
Use the reverse links function to find which web sites link to others. Use to find related sites and those of high interest to the target site.

AltaVista
Searches deeper into a document than most search engines

Google
Very little advertising for now. Directory searching, and state of the art search engine. Indexes PDF files. Read the help tips, does not support OR, or truncation. Can search the sites that link to a designated site. link:www.google.com (to find links to that page). You cannot combine a link: search with a regular keyword search.

Webcrawler
Does not support truncation, you would have to put in all variations on a word. Best help pages. Nice advanced features
