How to Find the Answer to Most Questions

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Sometimes you end up in situations where your own knowledge isn't enough. You certainly would be better off if you knew everything. It is impossible to find the answer for everything, but you certainly can find out many things.

Steps

  1. Use Search Engines like Yahoo and Google and Wikipedia. They will help guide you to an answer. Other useful places include WikiHow. Ask Jeeves is a great source of information, as well as many others. Some search engines are very specific when you searching for people.
  2. Learn that you do not have to use a Search Engine to find the information you are looking for. Just use the narrow search bar within the 'tool bar'. Type in one or two search words, and you will automatically be given hundreds of sites with the source of information that you seek. For the most accurate sites, select from the first 5 or 10 on the list.
  3. Read the information carefully from each site, comparing the information to see if one has more information than the other or is easier to read.
  4. Print some of the information, so you can easily use it for easy reference.
  5. Searching the Internet, takes the place of having to search the library, or bookstores for information. If you need to know most anything, you can find it by using the computer.

Tips

  • Search for encyclopedia's on the net. Every one imaginable can be read but some might charge to join.
  • While medical information is probably accurate, especially from major medical sites, it does not take the place of actually consulting with your Doctor. Do not diagnosis yourself.

Warnings

  • Information found on the Internet is extremely accurate, when you reach major information sites. Make sure that you are reading up to date postings, and not something that is not recent.
