"Google ~Guide": interactive tutorial on searching with Google

   If you're like me, you make extensive use of major Internet search
engines when conducting research on both work-related and personal
topics.

   I've found the Google search engine to be invaluable when doing a
first pass at researching technical topics. (For a list of some
well-regarded alternatives, see
<http://searchenginez.com/metasearch.html>.)

   There's now a interactive tutorial available on maximizing Google's
core search features, as well as using some of its spiffy new
features. (This is a free online version of a book that covers these
topics in more detail.)
