Using a Search Engine
The following points are additional tips on how to find information on the Internet using a search engine:
•When entering keywords, you can enter an entire sentence to limit the search to a more specific topic. For example, for information on carving a turkey, type carving a turkey in the keyword box instead of just turkey.
•After entering a keyword search, the search engine that you are using will return a list of all Web sites that contain your keywords. You must click the link to a Web site to find more detailed information.
•Some Web sites are connected to other Web sites with hyperlinks often appearing as colored, underlined text. When you click a hyperlink, you access the Web page associated with that link. The new Web page may be from the same Web site or a Web site in another country.
For practice, search for the Compaq Web site by typing the following URL into the Address box of your Web browser:
www.compaq.com/athome/exploration
