What’s the best search tool for my enquiry?
Regardless of the question you ask or the terms and phrases you consider important, you are still going to have to use this information to identify the types of search tools that will best match your needs.
As we shall see below, there are a variety of tools available to help you find information on the Internet, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Few of the problems generally encountered here have to do with the inherent characteristics of that tool.
Rather, most shortcomings of online searches result from the wrong tool being used. For example, if you do not know much about a topic it is always better to start with a directory than an engine (we will look at these tools in more detail alter on).
Similarly, if you are looking for the answer to a very specific problem, and you are fairly certain of how to phrase your search parameters, you will probably be better off going to a search engine.
