Most of us think, "Google!" when we want to search for information on the internet, but Google is just one of many search engines available.  Time to explore different search engines and discover ways to find the information you need.

Places to start:  

• Internet Tutorial List of Search Engines
  
• Wikipedia's List of Search Engines
• How to Choose a Search Tool by Internet Tutorials

When looking for articles or documents online, make sure you have access to the full-text article.  Use advanced search options or search settings to limit your search.

Once you find an article, CTRL-F (Command-F on a Mac) will let you search for words or phrases within a webpage.
