There are two ways to search the Internet, with Search Engines or through Subject Directories. Search Engines are lists of sites found and organized by a computer. Subject Directories are lists of websites chosen and arranged by people.  A Search Engine will have more websites, but a Subject Directory will have higher quality websites. Search Engines are lists of sites found and organized by a computer.
