An up and coming method for searching the Internet is using an OpenSearch capable web browser.  One of the top ones right now is A9.com created by the folks at Amazon.com   OpenSearch browsing basically increases your searching capability and results.  When you use a standard browser like Yahoo, MSN, AOL you only receive the basic search results of listed main pages on the Internet.  Many of these web pages have their own internal search engine for information that resides on their site. Information you won't necessarily see.  OpenSearch allows the applicable browser to see inside these larger pages and use their internal search engine as well returning the main page information.  Your result is more precise search results and more in-depth information for you to review.   Great stuff if you are researching a problem or a classroom topic.

Bottom line:  Basic web search engines will get you the general info. of what you need.  OpenSearch engines, like A9.com, will take you deeper into Internet data.
