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.
