Search Tips
The search engine responds best to descriptive phrases, such as "browser support for xml standards" -- single terms, such as "xml" or "browsers," may not be as productive. In addition, when submitting a query you can arrange your query text in a number of different ways to alter your results. You can:
  • Enter the query as natural text
  • Enter the query, separating the words with the boolean operations, AND, NOT, and OR.
  • Enclose the query in quotes to force a proximity search.

Search options are:

  • Displaying a summary/abstract of each result
  • Sorting your results by date or relevancy
  • Restricting your search by selecting only those Web sites your are interested in
  • Defining the number of results per-page you wish to have displayed

Options on our "results" page include:

  • Next/Previous Button
    If search.internet.com finds more documents that it can display on one page, it will provide you with a Next button at the bottom of the results page. Click on the Next button to move forward through the results. When on a "second," "third," or subsequent results page, search.internet.com will also provide a Previous button which works as you'd expect.
  • More Like This
    View your selected document with related documents in a small frame at the bottom of your browser window. When doing so, the top frame will contain your selected document. The bottom frame will contain the results of a new query, generated from the contents of the document in the top frame.
  • Build New Query Based on Select Documents
    Select multiple documents by "checking" the boxes under each result, and then generate a new search based on those selected documents. For instance, "checking" a review of Netscape Navigator and a news story about AOL, and then hitting the "Build Query Based on Selected Documents" button, will produce a new set of results which will contain documents covering both topics.
