Two common browsers are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Every single page on the World Wide Web has a unique address. Once you are linked to the Internet and you know the URL, you can go directly to the Web site. If you don't know the URL, then you can use a directory, a search engine, a hybrid, or a meta-search engine to find information. They'll help you locate the information you're looking for.
Web directories organize Web pages into subject categories.
This method, although highly organized, takes time and new web pages may not be added to the directory for weeks. Web search engines are more like indexes in a book. They allow you to search by word. They automatically add sites to the listings. You'll find many more listings using a search engine than you would using a Web directory.
