Search Engines

Below is a list of some of the more popular search engines that are available on the web. Using these you can enter keywords about your search and you will get a list of URL's that are related to your topic.

Since there is not a standard way in which these search engines return information to you, the first activity that we will do is search for information on the Olympics using each of the four search engines below. Then we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each and tell which ones you prefer and why.

For more search engines, try using Netscape's Net Search Button or go to the URL: http://home.netscape.com/home/internet-search.html
