If you're trying to find a particular site or document on the Internet or
just looking for a resource list on a particular subject, you can use one
of the many available on-line search engines. These engines allow you to
search for information in many different ways - some search titles or
headers of documents, others search the documents themselves, and still
others search other indexes or directories.
