SECTION 3: USING SEARCH ENGINES EFFECTIVELY

CHOOSING A SEARCH ENGINE: PICK FROM THESE POPULAR ENGINES

We have learned that there are different kinds of search engines:

TRUE search engines -- whose databases are built by computers.

WEB DIRECTORIES -- whose databases are built by people.

HYBRIDS -- search engines that are part Engine, part Directory.

META search engines -- one search tool that searches up to 10 other search engines at one time.

MEDICAL or HEALTH CARE search tools -- search tools that specialize in medical and health care information.
