Search Engines
Before going to the “free web” – remember you get what you pay for – be sure to check out the Databases, where information
comes from identifiable, credible authors for academic research.
Any search engine will work better with single keywords. More than one word? Put it in quotes: Ex: “civil war"
Avoid capital letters. No articles: Ex: “the” “and” “a”
Better Search Engines:
The latest trend in search engines is to combine the sub-topics formerly created by man-made directories with the power of search
engines. This next wave includes:

2) Beaucoup! 2000+ Search Engines, Indices and Directories
