Chapter 3 - Searching the Web - Specialized Searches

It is possible to do specialized searches for people, news, magazine or journal articles, video, blogs and other social media, products, or services. When searching for a person or a business we can use a specialized directory called white pages directory or yellow pages directory.

If we want to search for news and current events we could use portal sites such as MSN and Yahoo! or one of the major wire services like the Associated Press (AP), United Press International (UPI), or Reuters.

We can also search for video content using search engines such as Google Video, ClipBlast, and Yahoo! Video.
