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 underneath Web Page Search.
4.Click Search. Your browser should display numerous links to different Compaq Web sites.
5.Use the Back arrow on the menu bar to return to the search engine.
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.
