Search engines are the keys that unlock the information treasure houses of the Internet. Unfortunately, most people have no idea how to tap their power. Like software applications, each search engine has unique features. People who know how to use these features are more likely to find the information they want. Each search engine also has its strengths and weaknesses. It is important to select the right search engine for the job.
