But I can't find anything useful on the Web!"That's the lament of ever more users as Web pages multiply likekudzu in a Carolina summer. Search engine HotBot (http://www.hotbot.com) now scans morethan 50 million pages in a search, and millions more are addedmonthly. So it's no surprise that even a simple hunt with astandard search engine can return huge numbers of hits.
