bullet Use more than one search engine or subject directory; this will expand the results of your search

bullet Make sure the spelling of the keyword and phrase is correct

bullet Be aware that some search tools (engine, subject directory, and meta-search engine) have a percent symbol located on the side of the annotation. This indicates the amount of information that is relevant to the key words and phrases. The higher the percentage, the closer the result is to the search criteria
