Where to find proper topic

[inkleputDEL]

Does anybody happen to know or can point me to info on how to Google
something and get actual hits instead of page after page of dollar store
search engine link lists leading to more dollar store search engine link
lists leading to more dollar store search engine link lists leading to...

You can spend hours going from one search engine to another and never get
real information or sources.

You can spend hours going from one search engine to another and
never get real information or sources.

Actually - it's more of 'following the logical trail' than anything else.
In other words - you have to learn to avoid the hits that are not what you
are looking for and use the ones that are on topic (but not quite there) to
refine your search.

Example - I used Google to find some of these again...
(Some are quite old, some I read long ago - you may find them useful.)

IMHO, W3C is a winner, and it means, World Wide Web Consortium. Go to
Google, type "w3c" and go to the page, look at the upper right for a
search engine icon, and click on go. Then click on search the web.
If the subject of search is MS Windows, a special search engine is
present on the site named "Windows Secrets", and it is a dedicated
search engine which they have created for Windows, and it filters out
reflexive (buy Windows etc.) ads.
