What is a Search Engine?
A Search Engine stores web sites in a huge database. They use a method
called "keyword" searching to match up the most relevant results to a users
search request. Selecting the best keywords for your query will always yield
the best search results. For instance, if you are looking for help with a
computer problem you are having with your Dell Latitude, entering in a
search phrase such as this: "Dell Latitude trouble" would give you very poor
search results. However, if you enter in specific information regarding your
computer trouble, such as an error message, this would give you much more
relevant results to your query. Below are a few of the most popular search
engines that you can use. Ultimately, the one that you select to use all of
the time is a matter of personal preference.
Google
Yahoo
MSN
Extra Tip: To find more search engines to play around with, type in: "search
engines" in to any search engine's search box.
