Search Engines  Top index

Search engines are computer programs that scour the Web to find new sites, delete or update old ones for their home databases and log the words on each page.   Each search engine works differently and may often produce different results.  To use them most effectively, use the Help screen in each search engine's site to see how you may refine your searches.
