    Let us further explain the use of a search engine in finding information by reading
    the text below.
    Read the short text below to understand the search engine.

    The Search Engine

    Google Homepage (http://www.google.com)

    A search engine is a website through which users can search internet content. To
    do this, users enter the desired search term into the search field. The search engine
    then looks through its index for relevant websites and displays them in the form of
    a list. The search engine’s internal evaluation algorithm determines which position
    a website will get in the search results. Google, Bing and Yahoo are examples of
    popular search engines.
    You may type in any of the addresses on the URL bar of your web browser (Google
    Chrome, Safari or Mozilla Firefox) and key in any words or phrases to look for
    information.

    Lesson
    Using Search Engine to
    2 Locate Information
    The creation of the Internet has changed the way people around the world
    find information. Instead of just opening and reading books, dictionaries,
    phonebooks, and maps, people often choose the Internet to find the
    information they need. But finding the right information on the Internet can
    sometimes be difficult. This lesson will help you find information from
    various resources using electronic search engines.
    How to research with a search engine?
    (https://carnegiecyberacademy.com/documents/Lesson11_SearchEngines_ResearchTips.pdf)
    Figure out what you need to know.
    It helps to start out by writing down everything you
    already know about your topic and what you think you
    may need to know for your report. If you don’t know
    anything about your topic, you can also try an
    encyclopedia website like “Encyclopedia Britannica,” or
    talk to a librarian or teacher.

    Combine keywords to focus your search.


    If you just search for “George Washington,” you will find
    lots of information that might not be necessary for your
    report. For easy gathering of information, you may use
    several keywords inside quotation marks. (Example:
    George Washington "birthdate") You may also use some
    keywords that you have learned from one site to another
    to help you focus on the search topic.
    Double-check your information.
    Look for sites that list their references and source
    materials which will explain where the author found the
    information. Always double-check the information you
    find on the Internet against an offline trusted resource to
    make sure it is correct.
    Bookmark reliable sites.
    When you find a site that is a good resource, add it to
    your web browser favorites or bookmarks so you can find
    it again easily. This will help you locate the resources in
    case you need the same information in the future.
