HOW TO RESEARCH ONLINE
It seems that everyone likes to email me asking for things
they want information on, yet it took them longer to email
me than if they would have tried to find it themself.
Sometimes it can be tough to find things online. It is said
that there are 3 billion web documents on the internet. The
WWW is not categorized like a library would be and you are
often left to do guesswork on what words to search for and
hope you find a relevant match.
www.google.com
Is the best search engine as it searches each webpage contained
within a website. Places like Yahoo, etc., only search for
a website mactch, but most times the infomation your looking
for is on a page within it.
To search an individual website for something using google
just type in:
-----"site:www.andyfuturerdh.com funny"
site=your website you are searching / funny= what word or
words you are looking for
