Choose your keywords carefully. Your choice determines the success of your search.

URL means Uniform Resource Locator. A URL is an address for a resource or Web site on the Internet.

Using a Search Engine

Most search engines ask for a keyword. A keyword is a single word or simple phrase that describes your topic.

When entering keywords, you can enter an entire sentence to limit the search to a more specific topic. For example, for information about searching the Internet, enter searching the Internet, instead of Internet.

After you enter a keyword search, the search engine generates a list of hyperlinks to all Web sites that contain your keywords. Click a link to go to a specific Web site.

For practice, search for the Compaq Web site:

1.Connect to the Internet and open your browser.

2.Enter the following URL into the Address box of your Web browser: www.altavista.com.

3.Enter Compaq in the box next to Find this.

4.Click Search. Your browser should display numerous links to different Compaq Web sites.

To use a search engine, complete these steps:

1.Choose a keyword that describes your topic.

2.Type that keyword into the search engine.

3.Click the go button (or other button provided) to send your request.

Once you have entered a keyword, the search engine will:

Review the descriptions of the Web sites in its records

Create a list of the Web sites that contain your keyword

Display the list on your screen

The list the search engine returns to you includes a brief description of each Web site as well as its URL.
