The site survey for an Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) requires an entirely new strategy. It is indeed not anymore possible to select the best known site on the basis of cloudiness and seeing only, and to set the design specifications of the telescope accordingly. Some particularities of giant structures as well as the continuous use of adaptive optics impose new requirements which many of the best current observatories worldwide do not fulfill. Plans for a global search for potential sites are outlined which make extensive use of recently available databases and related software tools.
