Netfind is a simple Internet "white pages"
directory that can be searched using keywords. Given
the name of a user and a rough description of where the user works, Netfind attempts to locate information
about that Internet user.
It is helpful to know the domain name of the
computer used by the person that you are trying to locate. This
is generally typed in as one of the key words. Netfind will present you with a list of possible domains based
on the key words (perhaps all the domains at a particular university).
Once the domain has been narrowed down, Netfind
uses finger to track down the person's name.
