www.google.com

Google has a well-deserved reputation as the top choice of most people searching the Web. This crawler-based* service provides near comprehensive coverage of the Web. In addition, Google delivers results of high relevancy, using algorithms designed to identify sites that are the most popular (i.e., most linked-to).

*A web crawler (also known as a web spider or ant) is a program which browses the World Wide Web in a methodical, automated manner.

Google defaults to searching Web sites for your results. However, other links appearing above the search box give you the option of retrieving images from across the web, searching the discussions in newsgroups, searching for products, and using Google Scholar, a search engine for scholarly articles, books, and papers. To have full-text access to many of the citations supplied by Google Scholar you must be connected to the UA network, in other words, either on campus or connected through UA Virtual Private Network (VPN).
