About the Web
The World Wide Web FAQ will introduce you to lots of information about the World Wide Web.
Search Engines
A big part of Web publishing is linking to related information elsewhere on the Internet. If you're looking for good links for your site, start with one of these search engines.
E-Answers: is a wonderful resource. It is a search engine, but it is very specific about what it searches. E-answers indexes all the extension guide sheets from 30 land-grant universities. If XPLOR doesn't contain a guide sheet on a topic you are researching, chances are you will find one at another university through this terrific site.
Search tips:
- Not all search engines index the same portions of the Internet, so try several different ones to get the most complete results.
- All search engines have a "help" or "tips" section if you go to their main home page. These will give you valuable guidance for getting the best results from a particular search engine.
- Try different combinations of keywords. Too many keywords will narrow down your search too far, but if you do a new search with a different combination of words, you may get more results.
- "Hits" are not necessarily listed in order of relevance, and seldom in order of what's particularly relevant to YOU. The best hits may not be at the top of the results list.
