Internet - Why Did This Site Appear in a Search?

Ever perform an Internet search, come up with a results page, but find nothing on the page relevant to your search?

First, use your browser's FIND tool to search the page for the keyword(s) in question (check the Edit menu). Still no luck? Perhaps the page had the desired keywords at one time, but the page had been edited since it was indexed. Or, check the HTML document's source code near the top of the document for META tags - these sometimes direct people to web pages.

Still no luck? Perhaps you just experienced a search engine glitch. It can happen. Use your browser's back button and try another site.
