        The second step has 3 types of options. You should try them all
            ● Add to the first name, the name of the spouse and parents
                ○ Step 3 is to use all of the names to search various sources
            ● Specify a country of the records
                ○ Step 3 is to search specific databases in the invisible web
            ● Do an actual search with Google, RootsWeb, and others
                ○ Step 3 presents search results

Why is there more than one search button?

There are over 100 search buttons. You can try them all. The two main types of web searches.

The VISIBLE WEB is searched with search engines such as Google, Yahoo, & MSN

Search engines find content in web pages. The search engines used here are Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
Google has a restriction of only 10 words, so multiple searches are used to achieve the desired results.
Some of the searches are limited to specific genealogy web sites like RootsWeb and others.

The INVISIBLE WEB has no common search tool. Each database must be searched separately

The invisible web is a term used to describe web pages that are not indexed by search engines like Google.
Much of the invisible web is database content. This WebSearch searches of over 100 specific databases not indexed by Google. Each database has its own search form that is automatically initialized by the names you enter.
