  Book Information

With the Web at 6 billion pages and growing, information online is not stored or organized in any logical fashion. The Internet itself is not run or managed by any central organization. There are more than 200 separate search engines and directories on the Internet. If you go by usage trends, however, you end up with only one real standout. Google is the most popular search engine available today representing 75% of all searches. Google offers a huge search index, highly relevant search results, extremely fast searches, and a variety of specialty searches. Some of the specialty searches allow you to search via images (search for pictures and graphics) groups (search the Internet¿s newsgroup archives) directory (provides hand-picked results from the Open Directory) and news (gathers the top news, sports, business entertainment and heath stories).
