Search Engines

Search Engines are Web tools that let you search for information. There are a number of search engines available now. They all work by allowing you to enter a word or a phrase that describes your interest and then the engine finds every occurrence of that term that it can. We think one of the very best search engines for beginners is Yahoo. Here's a picture of the Yahoo opening Page.

You can see where you enter your search words. You simply type in any words that describe what you're looking for. Unique terms work better than common words. You then click on the Search Button.

Below that you'll also note links that are divided by subject areas. That's one of the strengths of Yahoo. It has divided all of its links into subjects that can be navigated using menus. So you can either look for a specific word or browse through the subject terms.
