Using the Web will open a vast vista of information for you. But you must be cautious. In libraries there are professionals who sift out the documents available to you; here you must do the sifting.

Enter words and phrases that are likely to appear in the documents you want to find. Use the capitalization you expect to find in the target documents. Identify phrases by surrounding them with double quotation marks, or by hyphenating the words in the phrases. Use a comma to separate proper names. (For examples and more special syntax, see Syntax.)
You get a page showing the documents that match your search (the "hits"). The title of each document is a link. Click the link to retrieve the document.
The results of your search are listed in order of relevance. For each document, you see a numerical score showing how well the document matches your search. The score itself is unimportant, but comparing the scores on the documents can tell you the relative likelihood that the documents will have what you're looking for.
It's easy to focus your search to find what you're looking for quickly. Just choose your search terms carefully and use the guidelines in the provided Netscape sections.
