I used Yahoo when I researched my topic. For my topic I searched Volvo Ocean Race and received 1,440,000 hits in .20 seconds. The first hit was a .org link to the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-2009 web site: www.volvooceanrace.org
To reduce the number of hits under Yahoo, I would use Advance Search next to the search bar to further reduce my search. In the Exact Phrase search, I would type in "Volvo Ocean Race 2008-2009" because I want the words in that phrase to appear together. This would take me to specific information about the exact phrase I used. This is where I found more information about that exact race, with also news and facts on it.
I may also look up pages that are similar to the URL of the website that I liked and found the most useful. This took me to hits that are linked to the web page that I found useful. From there I found greater information on the similar topic.
