    Why Search the Web?

    Web ‘addresses’ or URLs

    The most efficient method of finding


    information on the internet is through typing

    Interpreting the Results
    When Not to Use Google
    • Google doesn't cluster results
    • Google isn’t good enough to find a person's email
    address
    • Google isn't the best place to find what an abbreviation
    stands for
    • Some topic-specific directories are simply more fine-
    tuned than Google's regular full-text search
    • When working on an in-depth research project (like a
    college thesis), Google doesn't help you catalog multiple
    search results, or let you take notes on interesting sites.
    Web Catalogues or Directories

    Massive online catalogs that are edited,


    sorted, and organized by humans
    Major Web Directories
