On the Internet, searching is just trying to find the
information you need. There are three basic approaches:
The subject directory. These can be general and cover all subjects (as
Yahoo does) or specialized (like the information technology sites at searchWindowsManageability
and other TechTarget sites).
The search engine. These can be general and attempt to index all or most
of the Web's pages (like Google or FAST), or specialized and search within
a narrow range of subjects.
The so-called deep Web - that is, the Web sites that have information
that can't be indexed by the search engines but can in many cases by searched
directly at the individual Web site.
