Default How to Look for References?

Hi, everyone!

I am having a bit of trouble looking for .edu, .org, and .gov authoritative links. These are the only links that are acceptable. I am going to apply for QualityGal soon and I wanted to know how to find these sites before I apply. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it

Go to: http://www.search.edu Type your search terms, then use the dropdown box to choose .gov or .edu sites. Bookmark the URL for the future.

The above link did not work so I tried SearchEdu.com and it worked!

Thanks for all of the tips!

*I don't see the organization sites. If this is the website you were referring to.*
