Like Google and Ask.com, Yahoo! also provides a search engine in which you can enter terms. Yahoo! is perhaps best known, however, for its directory listings of hand-picked Web sites. One can start to browse this well organized, hierarchical directory by picking a broad subject category from the opening page.

On subsequent pages the category is broken down into more specific subjects, eventually leading to links and brief descriptions of sites that have passed Yahoo!’s editorial guidelines.

Using a directory such as Yahoo!’s is a good way to discover sites of relevance and quality.
