Searching for pages by subject

Unless you know the exact address of a web site you are looking for, getting the information you need off of the web can be very difficult. To help users in finding the sites they want a number of search engines are available to everyone.

A search engine is a web site just like any other which keeps a list of the thousands of sites out on the web, much like a telephone book keeps a list of the addresses and phone numbers in a particular city. To use a search engine you go to its web site and type in the subject of the information you are looking for, and you are returned a list of sites which match your query. Each search engine operates in a slightly different manner so if you are not having much luck with one you may want to try out another.

Here is a short list of the more popular search sites on the web:

Yahoo - http://www.yahoo.com/
Excite - http://www.excite.com/
Web Crawler - http://www.webcrawler.com/
Lycos - http://www.lycos.com/
Altavista - http://altavista.digital.com/
Go To - http://www.goto.com/

Alternatively you can go to the Quad-Cities Online® home page where many of these search engines are available from the line marked Search in the upper right portion of the page.
