Search Engines for the World Wide Web Visual Quickstart Guide is exactly what Web guides should be--concise, easily referenced, informative, and appropriate for all levels of expertise. If you have ever had the problems that most surfers experience when conducting a search--dredging up 100,000-plus hits on AltaVista, finding coffee pages when searching for Java, or pulling up the dreaded goose egg--you need to have this book close at hand. From the basics of searching to the specifics of the major Web search sites, you'll find out what to look for, where to look for it, and how to get the best results the first time. The authors give each of six major search engines--Yahoo!, AltaVista, Excite, Infoseek, Lycos, and HotBot--its own easily tabbed chapter, with charts for fast reference and complete descriptions of each engine's query terms for dramatically improved performance. The book also describes the more advanced features of each engine, with step-by-step guides to access these features, and covers what each engine is best suited for. Search Engines for the World Wide Web also gathers the quick reference charts into an appendix for even faster access. This book is part of Peachpit Press's popular Visual QuickStart Guide series, where the emphasis is on quick, step-by-step, easy- to-follow instructions with lots of accompanying screen shots to guide you on your way.
