5.0 out of 5 stars If you search the Net, you need this book, 22 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Extreme Searcher's Guide to Web Search Engines: A Handbook for the Serious Searcher (Paperback)
It's always hard to figure out which search engine to use when you're trying to find information on the Web. Hock's book does a great job at sorting out the strengths and weaknesses of each of the major search engines, as well as providing easy-to-read documentation of features such as phrase searching and searching for personal names. I especially liked the sections on "What Happens Behind the Scenes" and "Special Options," which show where each search engine excels. Any serious Net.searcher should have this book within arm's reach.
