Searching for Information on the Internet

If you need to find information (a web page) on the Internet without actually
knowing the web address, you can use a search engine to search for
information.

There are many search engines to choose from. Each search engine may
behave differently. Read the Help sections for the specific search engine to
learn how to use it.

1 Access a common search engine and type the word or combination of

words you are searching for in the Search field.

2 Press <Enter> or click Go or Search (depending on the search engine).

A list of related web pages is displayed below the search field.

HINT:

When searching for information, make sure that your spelling is

correct and that you use specifically related words to help refine the
search. Most search engines have an advanced search feature to
help refine your search.
