Begin your search with a Web search engine, such as Yahoo! or Google. Enter keywords and phrases related to the subject matter you're interested in, and click Search.
In the results list, click on a site's name to go to it. Even if the site doesn't have great information, check to see if it has links to other sites that might be more useful. Use the Back button on your browser to return to the original results list.
If the first list had too many or too few results, tinker with your keywords to produce more focused search results. (See the Related eHow "How to Conduct an Advanced Internet Search.")
