This is very similar to the way library books are viewed in a card catalog or an online subject database. You need to go though menus to find what you need. It sometimes can be a cumbersome way to search, but it is great if you want to find all the information you can on one subject and not something very specific. A search engine allows you to enter a keyword or group of words to find a particular item. Enter your search terms in the blank space provided by the search engine.
Some search engines search the whole Internet, some search particular files or computers.
For example, sites posting job listings often provide search engines that will search only their own site for a job. Each home page hooked to the Internet has an address assigned to it. Often people obtain an address for a site from a published guide or by word of mouth. If you find a site you like and would like to return to it later, copy the URL located in the white space next to the word address in Internet Explorer. To visit a particular address, first click in the white space.
