Inhaltsangabe

The most heavily visited spots on the World Wide Web are the major search engine sites - clear evidence that all surfers want to find what they're looking for as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, most people have no idea how to tap the true power of the Web's major search engines. This book shows them how with to-the-point information tailored for each of the most used search engines.

This is not a directory of topical sites, which would quickly go out of date. Instead, Search Engines for the World Wide Web shows readers the most efficient ways to use search engines to zero right in on what they're seeking. Clear step-by-step chapters on each of the most popular Web search engines: AltaVista, Excite, HotBot, InfoSeek, Lycos, WebCrawler, and Yahoo! It will also show the reader how to quickly find particular people or companies via the search tools Four11, BigBook, and Big Yellow.

Each search engine has its strengths and weaknesses. Knowing which one does what best can save the user lots of time. In the past the only way to learn the ins and outs of each engine was to spend a lot of time using each one. Now they can buy this book.

The book includes an inside back cover flap that gives a quick summary of how to use each Search Engine.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The amount of information available on the Internet and the World Wide Web is vast and growing at a staggering rate. But how does anyone find anything? That's the $64,000 question. If you're like us, the fascination of "browsing the Web" wore off a long time ago. We want to sign on, get the information we need, sign off, and go about our business and our lives.

This book will answer all of your questions about searching the Web. And like all the books in the visual QuickStart series, it's designed to do so with a minimum of technical jargon and extraneous information. You'll find lots of step-by-step instructions and specific examples for using search engines in general, and the very best ones in particular.
