By the way, here are my notes to Taylor Hendrix on how I went about
finding all the Tom Higby urls:
> My main search engine is google.ca (google.com and other google versions would do as well.)
> If there is a huge "hit" list, I start to thin it down by various methods.
>
> So, double quotes " " around the person's name; use of the Images search; the person's name
> with a known connection, such as pottery or sculpture or Alfred or NY or anything else likely
> you can think of. Depends on what you want.
>
> Now, at a certain point, I became clued in to the fact that there was material about his recent
> work: Earth Clouds on YouTube, so I went to http://youtube.com/ to do a search for his name.
> I include the results. If you don't like the music, and maybe you do, you can mute it on the page
> or turn off your speakers...
>
> If Google is down (happens occasionally), I have other major search engines I can try, such as
> yahoo.com, vivissimo.com, and msn.com. the msn thumbnails are larger than Google's and yahoo
> sometimes has a cached image that might not be found on the current website.
>
> Other than that, if there is a defunct website, it may be archived at archive.org. These archives
> are categorised by year and month. You can't search for text, though. You need a url.
>
> Something else... I mentioned double quotes - sometimes these are good, sometimes they are too
> restrictive. Try both with and without.
>
> Another way to narrow the search down without the extreme restriction of the double quotes
> is to use the upper case spelling AND between desired words (leave a space each side of the AND.)
>
> To increase hits, use the OR (upper case spelling) to separate two words of which either may be useful...
>
> I sometimes use the double quotes to surround a name or phrase, then the AND or the OR followed
> by another word, name or phrase (if either of the latter, then again, I use double quotes for that
> pair or group of words.)
>
> I did some work looking for dates of birth and death dates for a project. Sometimes what is needed
> for success is a good guess... ;)
>
> I think that's all I can come up with for just now.
>
> I know there are other search engines, and multi-search engines (one is dogpile.com)... and
> vivissimo.com has an interesting set-up, with boxes where you can see a preview of a page... and there
> are some other choices... the one for "cache" sends the user to an msn site!
>
> If you want more search engines, just search for "search Engines"... ;)
