Search Engine

A search engine is a program used on Web sites that allows you to search the Internet for keywords you enter. The search engine generates a list of Web pages that contain your keywords.

Once you access the Internet, you can use a search engine to begin searching for information. You can choose from many search engines on the Internet. To access one of these search engines, type in a URL, such as www.compaq.com. URLs take you to the requested site.
