Search Basics

1. Click in the search box and type one or two words that best describes what you want to find. For example, typing sporting goods will find links about sporting goods.

2. Click the "Search" button, or press your Return or Enter key to begin the search.

Tip: 1 - Entering the keyword: cars

Will return results of all listings that contain the keyword "cars" in their url, title, description & keywords. If your search returns too many results, try adding more search terms to better target the type of site you are looking for. Typing the keywords "used cars" will return more relevant results if you're looking for used cars.

3. What is the "ALL" box used for?

This is a "Database Select-Box". With this option, you can choose which database you would like to search. For example, if you select "All" the search engine will search all databases in order starting from database 1. However, if you select "35" the search engine will start its search at database "35" excluding all of those databases before it.

SupremeSearch.net wants to give all sites a equal chance of exposure in the search results. Using the "Database Select-Box" you can search for sites that have High Ranking, Medium Ranking, and Low Ranking equally. For example, websites in database 10 will have a higher ranking then websites in database 45. But you can selected "45" and view those websites in that database first.

4. What is the "Forward" button used for?

If you can't find what you are looking for in the current database, then use the "Foward" button. The "Forward" button lets you send your search query to the next database, so you can skip search results that are not useful.
