Annotation:
I chose this website to use as a resource as it includes mostly everything you need to know about search engines. Search engines are computer programs that are designed specifically to search for Web documents by using keywords or phrases. This site talks about the types of search engines that are available and the benefits and limitations of these. It has working links that link directly to the each search engines home page and lists what the author's believe to be the best search engines available. It also defines the type of search engine that you should use depending on what you are looking for for example you could perform a metasearch which searches several search engines and directories at once. Information on Boolean operators and how these can be used to narrow down a search is also included. Finally the web page is enhanced by the author including a list of 17 recommendations that makes searching the internet a whole lot easier. I believe that the tutorial was written for an audience that has limited experience with the internet, however the more advanced internet user may also find some useful information at this site.
