Engines
One of
the most important things to do on the Web is to search for
other Web pages. There are several Search Engines that are
Websites designed to help you find what you want. Some of
the recommendations:
- <www.yahoo.com>
- Most popular search engine with users. Includes categories
of pages and other items such as chat, bulletin boards,
movie and TV listings, news, and fantasy sports leagues
- <www.lycos.com>
- Popular search engine, similar to Yahoo!
- <www.google.com>
- Very fast search engine, designed to actively find sites,
often within a fraction of a second
- <www.iwon.com>
- Search engine similar to Yahoo! with surging popularity
because of the ability to win cash and prizes
When you
use any search engine, you can type in what it is you are
looking for. If you simply type in the item in question, each
search engine will look for all or any of those words on a
Website, listing the sites first where all words are contained.
By modifying
what you type into the search box, you can alter the search.
