Special Topic Search These days, there
is almost too much information on the Internet for search results
to be manageable. Even well-constructed searches
can easily return thousands more pages than can be readily browsed. So,
using special search tools that only return the type of results
that you are looking for can save a lot of time and increase the quality
of your search. To see all link categories, click here. |

Did you know that VHS
stands for Video Home System and that DVDs have an expected life of 100
years? |

There's a Lot of
Information that Can't Easily Be 'Googled'
Google and other similar, all-purpose search engines are great, but they
don't do such a great job of letting you group results by type of file or
type of information found out of the millions of search results they spend
so much time boasting about. If your search yields one million results
or five - is there any real difference given that one can only browse so
many pages? If you were looking for sounds or, for example, an e-mail
address, general search engines are a poor tool for the task. For
situations like these, you will save time and effort by using a search tool
that excels in searching for the type of file or information that you are looking for.
The links on this page are more tailored
and in many cases more useful than a simple mega-search engine. All
search links mentioned on this page have been recommended by our consulting team and
our helpful Web site visitors. To suggest or share a search resource
that you have found helpful or if you would like to help us out by reporting
a broken link,
please send e-mail correspondence to our
