Search Tips
The search engine responds best to descriptive phrases, such as "browser support for xml standards" -- single terms, such as "xml" or "browsers," may not be as productive.
In addition, when submitting a query you can arrange your query text in a number
of different ways to alter your results. You can:
Enter the query as natural text
Enter the query, separating the words with the boolean operations, AND, NOT, and OR.
Enclose the query in quotes to force a proximity search.
Search options are:
Displaying a summary/abstract of each result
Sorting your results by date or relevancy
Restricting your search by selecting only those Web sites your are interested in
Defining the number of results per-page you wish to have displayed
Options on our "results" page include:
Next/Previous Button
If search.internet.com finds more documents that it can display on one page, it will provide you with a Next button at the bottom of the results page. Click on the Next button to move forward through the results.
When on a "second," "third," or subsequent results page, search.internet.com will also provide a Previous button which works as you'd expect.

View your selected document with related documents in a small frame at the bottom of your browser window.
When doing so, the top frame will contain your selected document. The bottom frame will contain the results of a new query, generated from the contents of the document in the top frame.
Build New Query Based on Select Documents
Select multiple documents by "checking" the boxes under each result, and then generate a new search based on those selected documents.
For instance, "checking" a review of Netscape Navigator and a news story about AOL, and then hitting the "Build Query Based on Selected Documents" button, will produce a new set of results which will contain documents covering both topics.
