"Some days you find all the answers,
and some days you can't buy a clue for any amount of money!"

Two ways to find information on the WWW are:

1. Humans organize and catalog Subject Directories. These directories are good for broad subject searching of established sites.
    
2. Search Engines rely on computer programs called spiders or robots to crawl the Web and log the words on each page. A keyword (single word) typed into a search box causes the search engine to scan its database and return a file with related links. These are good for specific topic searching.
