Welcome to the search club of web friend.   One of the most valuable resources you will find on the Internet is the SE (search engine).  The "Search" section of  web-friend will give you instant access to great search tools, tips, news, secrets, and a helpful list of resources on how to search the Internet, and get results, as well as how to optimize YOUR web pages so they get found by those search engines.

This section of web-friend is primarily for the surfer who is looking for a good overview of the entire SE (search engine) process.  Be it information about Google, Yahoo, Inktomi, dmoz (The open directory project), MSN, Alltheweb, Looksmart, or other engines, this section will give you the links, tips and info you may be looking for. 

While the webmasters of the Internet will find some valuable resources here - the primary function of this section is to assist the those who are searching the Internet for the topic of their choice.

This section covers SEO (search engine optimization), SEM (Search Engine Management) and other SERP (Search Engine Results Pages).    I HAVE given some thought to the webmasters in search of resources, links, and information about the entire SE world.  I have recently posted a page of what I consider my most valuable resources for the webmaster in the form of a collection of web-sites that contain valuable information in most aspects of webpage creation.  You can find that page of webmaster resources right here at web-friend in the misc. section.
