Practical 4 and 5

http://www.theantidrug.com - I used the search engine called "Google" with the keywords: Drug abuse youth information.The purpose of this website is to inform others about drugs and its disadavantages.First 2 pages results are very relevant to what I am looking for.

http://www.drugstory.org/drug_effects/drugabuse_depression.asp - I used the Meta search engine called "Metacrawler" with the keywords: Drug abuse youth information.I didnt really liked the results found by the meta search engines. First few result wasn’t that useful at all.

http://www.samhsa.gov/ - i used the subject directory : "Galaxy" with the keywords :Drug abuse for youth advocacy. I didnt like the results found as i found the websites too general.

Overall, which search facility best meet your searching needs? Why?
Search engines. I’m looking for specific information and I don’t like to browse
through a wide range of information before I get what I want to know.

I have learnt that if you need a wider range of resource, use directories, but if
You need something specific, choose a search engine.
