How do I find it

How do I find it?
You can find information on the internet using 2 major tools, search engines and search directories. Search Directory: a collection of web sites usually arranged by subject area. Directories are meant to be browsed, but they can also be searched. Directories are different from search engines in that people, not computer programs, select the sites in a directory. Yahoo and Internet Public Library (IPL) are examples of search directories. Search Engine: is a program that allows a user to locate information on the Internet by typing in key words or phrases. The search engine then returns addresses of Web sites that most closely match the request. Search engines use computer programs called spiders, rather than people to find information. Google and AltaVista are examples of search engines.
