  19. 3. SEARCHING THE WEB

  20. Search Engines • A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web and file transfer protocol (FTP) servers. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. • Google, Bing and Yahoo are some of the most common search engines. • To search the web for specific information you can visit one of the search engine websites such as Google and Bing. In these search engine websites you will find a text box in which you have to type the keywords related to your search.

  21. Example

  22. Searching Using The Address Bar • You can use the Address Bar for searching the web. Click within the address bar and type “Find” followed by the search query. For example “Find MS Office”. • After typing the search query in the address bar you may press Enter to search using the default search engine –which is Bing in the previous example- or click one of the available search engines.

  23. Using Keywords And Phrases • To get the best results from the search engine you have to choose unique keywords that directly relate to what you searching for. Also, you should not use a single word as a search query; doing so will retrieve a large number of irrelevant results. For example it is better to search for “mini computers” than searching for “computers”. • When you search for “mini computers” the search engine will retrieve any web page contains “mini”, “computers” or “mini computers”. That means a large number of irrelevant results. To go around this problem you have to use the + symbol between your keywords. In this case the search engine retrieves only the pages containing all of your keywords. • To force the search engine to retrieve the web pages that contains the exact search query, you have to enclose the search query between double quotations (“ ”).

  24. Searching By Date Or File Format • Some of the search engines allow you to search the web according to the date of the file or the file type. For example: • Open the Google search engine website. • Click on the Advanced Search link.
