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
