Finding information with Search
There are millions of Web pages. To
find exactly what you want, you have
to be specific. You do the same thing
when you call Directory Assistance
for a phone number.
If you called Directory Assistance and asked for Joe's phone
number, they'd ask you for more information in order to
narrow it down. You'd need Joe's last name, and at least
the city where he lived. The more information you had,
the better they'd be able to help you. Searching the Web
works much the same way.

There are four ways to search on MSN TV
• On the MSN TV home page, type the words
or phrase you want to search for in the text box
near the bottom of the page.
• In Search, type the words or phrase you want to
search for in the text box there.
• On the search results page, type the words or
phrase you want to search for in the text box
at the bottom of the page.
• When you're anywhere on MSN TV, press the
Search key on the keyboard. This will take you
to the Search page.
Narrowing down a search
If your search gets too many
results, use more keywords to
help narrow it down.
Try this search yourself: look for information about
the first crew to land a spacecraft on the moon. In this
exercise, you'll learn how to narrow down a search.
1
Type moon in the Search box on the home page,
and then choose Go.
You'll get lots of listings on the results page. Since moon
is a fairly common word, it's found on thousands of
Web pages. You'll see descriptions of some of these
pages on the results page.
2
To narrow down your search, add some more
information.
Since you know you want to find information on the
crew that went to the moon, type crew and moon
in the text box. You can type this in the box at the
bottom of the results page. You'll still get many listings
on the results page.
3
Make your search even more specific. Type NASA
and crew and moon in the text box.
This time, you get more relevant results.
4
If you scroll down the results page, you should be
able to find information about the Apollo team. To
go to a particular Web page, choose it from the list.
