Google doesn't give you nearly as much information as you would like to think it does.
- SEARCH THE DEEP WEB
● Google offers less than half of the information available on the Web. Use at least three search engines.
● Any website you have to type wavy letters into, Google can’t find easily.
● Advanced Google Search: search a domain (.gov) or a file type (excel or spread sheets)
● Twingine.no (side by side results), Yahoo.com, Alltheweb.com (gives you advanced options), Complete Planet, Internet Public Library
- SEARCH THE DEAD WEB
● Search engine cache (Google, Bing): pulls up the last live website
● Wayback Machine: an internet archive where you can see websites as they used to exist, frozen in the past. Useful for: Seeing if an official went back on a statement, etc.
● Cybercemetary: Former sites and information about defunct government agencies

- SEARCH A DOMAIN
● Allwhois.com: Search for a domain of a website, find out who owns it and that person's contact information Useful for: Finding out who is running a smear site
● Yahoo site explorer: Explore every possible link - whether it is live or not - that Yahoo.com has documented. Useful for: Finding press releases that are online but haven’t gone live yet. If that is the case, check it out before you write it.
● Quarkbase: It describes itself the best - "See people, traffic data, similar sites, social comments, description, social popularity and much more about websites."
