I learned some very useful search techniques that will help me find information faster. For example putting two or more words together in parenthesis will tell the search engine to search for that phrase instead of just the words. I also learned that their is a thing called the invisible web that is thought to be many times bigger than the web we all know and love. The invisible web includes databases of all shapes and sizes.

  1. If you want to know the invisible web, know that the ISEN or Internet Search Envionment Number is emerging to reveal large sections of it that are accidientlly, not purposefully, invisible.
