    Decide whether you can "hit" the topic with a keyword search, or whether you ought to narrow the topic by selecting from an index, category, topic or directory.

    Select a search tool. Try to get to the site. Finding a URL or address for the site is helpful if the 'Net is busy. But if you want the information about cookin' Mexican, you have to visit "Too Hot Tamales."

    To learn about each of the tools, vary your engine from topic to topic.

    Enjoy.
