Search Engines
This section will help you
perform the following tasks:
•
Choosing a Search
Engine
•
Using a Search Engine
•
Searching on the Web
•
Accessing Files from the
Internet
Each search engine has a
different look and feel. Try
various search engines to see
which one you like.
Choosing a Search Engine
Many different search engines
exist on their own Web sites.
Each one keeps a list, or
database
, of registered Web
sites. The search engine’s master
list includes a description and
Internet address for each of its
registered Web sites.
Some search engines keep
general-purpose lists while
others limit their lists to a
single topic.
•
An example of a general-purpose search engine is
AltaVista
®
at
www.altavista.com
. Some ISPs, such as
America Online
®
, provide their own general-purpose
search engine.
•
An example of a specialised search engine would be one
that only lists Web sites about one specific topic.
Two ways to locate search engines are:
•
Click your browser’s
Search
button.
•
Ask a search engine to list other search engines.
