Searching on the Web

You can now begin searching on the Web.

Briefly examine the list provided by the search engine. Then,

•If you don’t like the list, change the keyword and ask the search engine to generate a new list.

•If you see a Web site that looks interesting, click its URL or enter its URL in your browser.

After you have chosen and visited a Web site, you can easily return to the search engine.

•Use the Back arrow in your browser to return to the list.

•Choose another Web site from the list or generate a new list.

Your browser keeps a chronological list of the Web sites you visit. The forward arrow and back arrow let you move through that list to revisit Web sites.

If you know the URL of the Web site you want to visit, type it directly into the Address box of your Web browser. For example, you can visit the Compaq Web site by typing the following URL into the Address box of your Web browser:

www.compaq.com/athome/exploration

The URL of a Web site that you want to remember can be placed in your browser’s Favorites folder. Some suggested Web sites are already in that folder. You can open your Favorites folder and easily visit a Web site by clicking on its name.
