| <p align="center">Yahoo is the most famous and, possibly, the most popular internet search | |
| engine. It's the engine most beginners start with, and it is a good start for newbies. It | |
| also has some strong features for the expert searcher. Above all else, Yahoo is a | |
| hierarchical directory. This means everything in it is categorized and organized in some | |
| logical fashion. It is easy to dig deep into this tree structure whether you start with | |
| the mother tree itself on the home page or you start with a search and arrive somewhere | |
| out on a limb. The value added of a directory like this is the organization of similar | |
| things in one place. The drawback of this is that it is difficult for website owners to | |
| contribute to more than one category. This means that complex websites are not going to be | |
| well represented in the various categories it covers and many gems of information they | |
| contain cannot be revealed by Yahoo. Another drawback is that it can take months for a | |
| site to get listed and sometimes they don't get listed for any apparent reason. Yahoo | |
| generally covers the major single subject sites well. In addition to its simple query | |
| interface, Yahoo has a more powerful screening capability hidden behind the options on its | |
| search page. Those options are all available on this page. If a subject is important to | |
| you, you should also search elsewhere. Yahoo makes it somewhat easy to do that also by | |
| providing direct links on its pages to other major search engines. A <a | |
| href="http://www.yahoo.com/headlines/">Headlines news service</a> updated hourly by | |
| Reuters is also offered. Yahoo provides a list of other <a | |
| href="http://www.yahoo.com/docs/info/features.html">features</a> about its service. Help | |
| can be found in <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/docs/info/help.html">Yahoo! Help</a>. Yahoo | |
| also provides an excellent <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/docs/info/faq.html">FAQ</a> that | |
| provides information from the basics of the internet up to the very specific Yahoo | |
| details. I could not find a web page with information about the </p> | |
