I still don't know. Are you suggesting I go to a library?

I am an old tard. Before the internet, if I needed to search for some piece of information, I'd use the card catalog at the library to find a book that covers in via the dewey decimal system. This answers the question of how to search without a search engine.

in the days before search engines were popular, you just followed links from one page to another, and got links from people on bbs and irc

Yahoo directory and webrings. I used those in the mid to late 1990s. I was talking about pre-internet days. As I said I am old.
