Search engine

A s earch engine is a program on the world wide web of the Internet that helps us to quickly and easily find the web pages we want.

We can put in words on the subject that we are interested in, and the search engine will find pages with those words.

Some examples of search engines are: Google, AltaVista, Dogpile, Yahoo, Globepage (international), META (Ukraine), Rambler, Яндекс (Russia)

Try a Search Engine

Here are some top tips for Internet searching.

· Don't choose the wrong search tool for the job. Make sure that you are using the most appropriate search tool for your purposes.

· Don't use vague keywords. Try typing "weather" into a search engine and you will probably find millions of Web sites. Combine "weather" with "Greece" and you're likely to retrieve better results.

· Don't misspell keywords. Don't expect to find the information you need if you search for things like "adress", "tecnical" or "comittee" (although you might get lucky!).

· Don't overlook alternative spellings. On the other hand, ask yourself if the keyword could be spelt differently. For example, if you want to find out about Pearl Harbor make sure you use the American spelling (Harbor, rather than Harbour).

· Don't ignore the help. Almost all search tools offer an online help. Make sure you use it!

· Don't get lost. It's easy to hop from one Web site to another whenever something looks interesting. Don't get distracted! Use the Back button on the top toolbar to navigate back to pages you have recently visited. Even better, make a note of Web sites that look interesting and visit them later.

· Don't be afraid to experiment. It may be that you won't find what you are looking for on the Internet immediately. Try out different keywords, new combinations of words and different search tools to find the information you need.

· Don't expect miracles. The Internet seems to offer so much, but is it really the right place for you to be looking? Think whether it might be easier to turn your computer off and look for information elsewhere.
