Find It on the Web

The best thing about the Web? Information. The worst thing? Chaos. If you sometimes feel that your search for truth online is a hopeless quest, here's help.

  

And it came to pass that the knights began their quest for the Grail. To traverse the length and breadth of the land was a perilous undertaking, yet they had no choice. So with great diligence and courtesy they began to sift through every field, fortress, and farmyard...

Needles? Haystacks? Nay, sirrah. Searching the Web makes winnowing straw in search of a bodkin child's play by comparison. The glittering skein holds so much information--and misinformation--that nothing short of an heroic quest will enable you to find the silver chalice you seek in the ocean of digital Dixie Cups. Verily, we'd as lief search for the Holy Grail by picking pages at random from the medieval books section of Ye Olde Barnes and Noble as seek information on the Net by blind errantry in the murky depths of an unknown Web search site.

The information is out there, right enough, but you have to wade through a lot of shining armor, drama, and sorcery just to get to it. That's where we come in--consider us the Merlin to your gallant Arthur. We'll avail you of strategies to reduce your searching times, summon the most from the search engines you already know, and wield indispensable--and often overlooked--search tools.

So if you be pure of heart, pray you saddle up, and with a shrewd PC World squiring by your side, mount a quest.
