Specialty Search Engines
  • Besides the search engines already listed, there
    are thousands of others.
  • Most do not search the entire World Wide Web, and
    are called specialty search engines.
  • Some only get results from one website, or from
    websites devoted to one subject.
  • Others look for research papers, MP3s, or
    pictures.
  • Still others search databases or newsgroups.

Some tips for creative search engine use
  • Use more than one search engine. Google is
    great, but it cant find everything!
  • Use advanced search options.
  • Consider using a specialty search engine.
  • Try entering obscure words, so you wont get back
    so many results.
