How to operate
Internet
1
Select a search
engine. At the top of
any page on your browser (the window that you open to use the internet), type
the phrase “search engines” into the Search Bar to attain access to several
different internet sites that specifically aid in searching. Common search
engines (click one of the links below to access the search engine named):
·
Ask
·
Bing
·
Blekko
·
Dogpile
·
Yahoo
2
After typing in
whatever you want to search, press the Enter key on the keyboard of your
computer.
3
Choose a few of the
most specific or relevant keywords or phrases to describe your topic. Utilize synonyms. Type your choice of
words into the Search Bar offered by your chosen search engine.
·
Generally,
capitalization and punctuation are not needed.
·
Search engines usually
disregard minor words such as "the, and, to, etc."
4
Click Search or press
the Enter key on your keyboard.
5
Assess your results. Search through your list of web pages to
pinpoint information.
6
Repeat above steps as
necessary.
·
Choose a different
search engine.
·
Choose new search
words that are more or less specific.
7
Use
the Advanced Search found on most sites. For example, if you want to go to Advanced Search on
Yahoo, go here.

It
is not correct to assume that your subject is more or less equally visible in
all search engines, so it is very important that you use a non-biased search
engine (such as Yahoo, DuckDuckGo...). Recent engines sort pages also by rank that is assigned is
a complex, ever changing, usually secret way and is different for every search
company. Google sorts by who pays them, which means that they feature those
sites and you may not get all the information that you need. While engines will
likely be "consistent" for a highly popular web sites, less popular
web sites may be ranked very differently and it may make sense to try multiple
engines.
