The following is an explanation of the information above:

Site
Y indicates that the candidate had a campaign website that was live and functional. Y* indicates that the candidate had a URL reserved but no website or had a campaign website that indicated that it would be coming soon and/or was under construction. N indicates that no campaign website could be found for the candidate.

Easy to Find:
The Ease of Locating was assessed by conducting searches for “candidate’s name,” “candidate’s name 2002,” “candidate’s name campaign,” “elect candidate’s name,” and/ or “friends of candidate’s name” on three search engines – AltaVista, Google, and HotBot. Only the first two pages of results were examined. If those searches failed to locate a campaign website, searches were then performed on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (dccc.org), Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (dscc.org), National Republican Congressional Committee (nrcc.org), or the National Republican Senatorial Committee (nrsc.org) websites where appropriate. A value of 0 indicates that no campaign website could be found, while 3 indicates that the website was found easily for most of the searches conducted on all of the search engines. A value of 2 indicates that the website could be found on at least two search engines, and/or several of the searches conducted failed to return a website. A score of 1 indicates that the site was difficult to locate, and could either be found only on one of the above organization’s website and/or on one of the three search engines.
