Google is a nice quick search but it's not as comprehensive as
http://www.dogpile.com .   Plus, I found google can't do more than a two word
search.  Content listed in Google is also "reviewed" and compiled for the general
public, so you won't find it to be a comprehensive source of technical
information having little or no commercial value.
