New search tools appear every few weeks and the familiar ones are constantly evolving, but effective searching in this ever-expanding environment requires new strategies.
Worthwhile information can often remain hidden to Web users, even very experienced ones, and this book shows you how to uncover valuable content, whether it is a html document or a paper buried deep within a public website." -- Book cover
