Searching the Web
This page is about searching for information on the web. It is a
collection of references to searching services, searching software,
and to other related lists of information on searching. Searching
is also called information retrieval,
The searching problem is, in general, how WWW clients or users find
information provided by servers. The process of
finding information may be partially automated, but there is usually
some human involvement, some browsing or intelligent analysis.
