To look for...

Using the internet to find my resources, I typed in at google.com Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, to find many links to websites regarding to the artist. I found a lot of lyrics to songs and music video links. I had to search through out the found search results only to find wikipedia.org contain information on Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. That was my first website that I went into to look up their background in the music business. There was some other relevant websites prior to my search on google.com. One website was at billboard.com, where the same information found on wikipedia.com was also on this website as well. I then went back to google.com to search for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony background information. The results lead me to this one website named www.answers.com where I could find what their albums where and what made them successful. I went to their official website to find their bios of their releases of albums in their years.
I decided to look on the search engine google.com because it is a familiar website where I usually go to find information that I need on numerous topics. Even though google.com can be vague on the feedback I get, the many websites regarding to what I am looking for gives me more of a variety of the topic. I also use wikipedia.com because this website is used a lot by google users. Using yahoo.com I typed in Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to look for more background information. Another search website I went to was ask.com. I looked at these websites because I use them to look for information on other topics from the past and they helped a lot.
Some of the advantages of looking at google.com, yahoo.com, and ask.com are that they have many websites that links to the topic I was looking for. They brought up other search websites that helped me further with my search. I got a lot of the same information on these websites that made the information more legitimate. The disadvantage of using these websites are the time to find some of the information you need because if the topic is vague then the feed back will be great and some of them may not regard to what you are looking for. This process can be very time consuming, but for a better search on a short time, it is better to use a more specific search website such as Galileo.com or sirs.com. These websites will have specific questions or options that narrows down what you are looking for so that they can give you information or the links provided much more efficiently.
