Choose your keywords
carefully .

Locator. A URL is an address
for a resource or Web site on
the Internet.
Using a Search Engine
Most search engines ask for a keyword. A
keyword
is a single
word or simple phrase that describes your topic.
•
When entering keywords, you can enter an entire sentence
to limit the search to a more specific topic. For example,
for information about searching the Internet, enter
searching the Internet
, instead of
Internet
.
•
After you enter a keyword search, the search engine
generates a list of hyperlinks to all Web sites that contain
your keywords. Click a link to go to a specific Web site.
For practice, search for the Compaq Web site:
1. Connect to the Internet and open your browser.
2. Enter the following URL into the
Address
box of your
Web browser:
www.altavista.com
.
3. Enter Compaq in the box underneath
Web Page Search
.
4. Click
Search
. Your browser should display numerous links
to different Compaq Web sites.
5. Use the Back arrow on the menu bar to return to the
search engine.
To use a search engine, complete these steps:
1. Choose a keyword that describes your topic.
2. Type that keyword into the search engine.
3. Click the
go
button (or other button provided) to send your
request.
Once you have entered a keyword, the search engine will:
•
Review the descriptions of the Web sites in its records
•
Create a list of the Web sites that contain your keyword
•
Display the list on your screen
The list the search engine returns to you includes a brief
description of each Web site as well as its URL.
