Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Internet offers millions of different information resources, which means that it can sometimes seem daunting to approach it in search of something specific. Getting precisely what you're looking for can be like trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack. If you feel like this then Find What you Want on the Internet could be just what you need. The core of this handbook is a series of in-depth reviews of the main search engines: Yahoo!, AltaVista, Excite, HotBot, WebCrawler, Lycos and InfoSeek. Each one has a chapter devoted to it explaining exactly how the engine organizes and displays information, and how to exploit it to the full by, for example, combining different words in a single search, or limiting retrievals to particular countries of origin. Further chapters look at "meta search engines", which query a number of different search engines at once on your behalf, and "intelligent agents", which can search the Internet while you're not even online and can learn your preferences, so delivering better targeted results.

While the book concentrates on the Web, other resources, particularly Usenet, are covered too, and there is a special chapter on finding individuals online. You will also find guidance on how to formulate a search strategy, and how to actually judge the quality of what you retrieve. --Sandra Vogel

"Find what you want on the Internet" also demystifies complex search techniques involving `Boolean operators', as well as explaining how to use Meta-Search search engines to check several search engines at the same time. There is also a bonus chapter covering Intelligent Agents special high-tech personal search programs that can be installed on your computer to search the Internet on your behalf, automatically.
