Features AltaVista (www.altavista.com) AltaVista is a
command-driven search tool. It offers two levels of searching and
each has its own unique syntax. An overview of each search level is
provided below. To explore the full range of searching options,
refer to AltaVistas help pages Basic Level Natural language

operators (AND, OR and NOT) permit the user to combine search terms
in order to acquire a better control over their searches For
example, the OR operator is used to link synonyms or related terms
together which broadens the search. [cover crops OR green manure]
12,300 The AND operator is used to retrieve references in which all
linked terms must be present. It will narrow the search [cover AND
crops AND Africa] 9,099 The NOT operator is used to exclude
references containing specified terms. Use cautiously so not to
exclude useful papers [cover crops AND NOT Africa] 10,300 28.
Search Engines Features Google (www.google.com) Google tends to
give you the most relevant and high-quality websites near the top
of your results list. A site's importance is measured in part by
how many other sites link to it -- the more important the site, the
higher it ranks in Google's search results. Example: If your
question is: What was the financial cost of the Vietnam War? then
try typing: "vietnam war" cost billion 29. Review of Main Search
