**Other Tools**
Google Search Engine - http://www.google.com
- Google search results will now deliver not only HTML and PDF files, but
also Word, Excel and other file types. Increasingly, more content housed in
what is referred to as the "invisible" web can be located using traditional
search engines. One word of caution, however: Users accessing documents
posted online in applications like Word and Excel are at greater risk of
downloading viruses. So be sure to have a virus protection program
installed. Google's solution for sidestepping viruses is to provide an HTML
version of any non-HTML file it lists in its search hits.
