How to Use the Internet

WHAT if I don’t know the URL?

Because of the vast amounts of information on the web, a good search engine or Internet guide can be a lifesaver. A search engine or guide is a type of index or table of contents for web sites. It can refer you to web sites by typing in key words.

It is not a search of the web itself, but a search of the engine’s index or categories.

Some popular search engines and guides include:
about	www.about.com
Bing	www.bing.com
Dogpile	www.dogpile.com
excite	www.excite.com
Google	www.google.com
HotBot	www.hotbot.com
Lycos	www.lycos.com
msn	www.msn.com
myWay	www2.myway.com
Webcrawler	www.webcrawler.com
Yahoo	www.yahoo.com
