Search Engines

This section will help you perform the following tasks:

•Choosing a Search Engine

•Using a Search Engine

•Searching on the Web

•Accessing Files from the Internet

Each search engine has a different look and feel. Try various search engines to see which one you like.

Choosing a Search Engine

Many different search engines exist on their own Web sites. Each one keeps a list, or database, of registered Web sites. The search engine’s master list includes a description and Internet address for each of its registered Web sites.

Some search engines keep general-purpose lists while others limit their lists to a single topic.

•An example of a general-purpose search engine is AltaVista® at www.altavista.com®. Some ISPs, such as America Online®, provide their own general-purpose search engine.

•An example of a specialised search engine would be one that only lists Web sites about one specific topic.

You can locate search engines in several ways:

•Click your browser’s Search button.

•Press the Internet Zone Instant Search button on your keyboard.

•Ask a search engine to list other search engines.
