How to search the Web
 

GoogleGo to one of the search engine Web sites listed on the following page. Somewhere on the Web page there will be a box for you to type in.  Type in the key words you are looking for (example: sports hockey.)  Somewhere on the Web page there will be an image that looks like a button and has the word "search" on it.  Clicking on this image will start your search and bring up a new Web page with a list of Web sites related to your topic on it.  Clicking on one of the titles in the list will take you to that Web site on your topic.

Many search engine also have "Directories" or lists of topics that are organized into categories. Browsing these Directories is also a very efficient way to find information on a given topic.
 

Hint:  When using a search engine be as specific as possible and use the right spelling.

Important: different search engines have different Web sites listed. Use many search engines to broaden your search.
