Search engines

[Laura P. Robbins]

Hi Bill,

AltaVista also allows you to search within a specific domain by using the 
host: tag.  To search for pages on our library's site for example, I would 
do a search on:

+host:amelia.db.erau.edu +FAA

AltaVista also allows you to restrict searches by domain: and by url:

I believe that Infoseek also offers this ability, but unfortunately, I 
can't remember the exact tagging.  Sorry.
