Editorial Review:
Product Description:
This is a manual that supports Internet searchers of all levels. The book presents clear explanations about the differences between directories, like Yahoo! and search engines, like Google or MetaCrawler. Choosing the right tool, constructing your search request and analyzing your results are all covered. 'The Two Minute Bottom Line,' provides a simple guide for developing a 'well constructed query' that works for any full Boolean search engine or metasearch tool. A detailed, but concise discussion of the deep Web will introduce this new level of research power. References are provided for obtaining the software tool (LexiBot) that is required for doing simultaneous searching of multiple surface and deep Web sources when comprehensive information retrieval is needed. An Appendix supports further resources. The book is published with a wire spiral binding that lays open next to the computer for user friendliness.

Daz has compiled a collective of info that is essentially offered up on a lot of help pages. But, he has put it together in a very concise format. The spiral binding lays open without a hassle. The info about the "deep Web" is a new one for me and I found this section well worth what I paid for the book. This is an excellent resource for teaching groups or classes how to use the Internet for serious research.

The information in this book is freely available on the Internet and in most net magazine articles. The binding and presentation of the book is also of very amateur quality. Save your money and visit a search engine site like Google. In fact if you do this, you will find the web pages that the material in this book is taken from!

Accolades to Searching the Internet by Daz Pettus for translating some fundamental and essential terms about the net that had me puzzled. It's a "top drawer" presentation of basic facts and savvy solutions for this net-impaired novice. Thanks for helping me to get more comfortable surfing in cyberspace.
