| The Web is made up of millions of pages and sites. Thousands more are added every day.
How do you find a particular piece of information on The Web?
Luckily, there are many Web sites that offer a free search service, and these are generally known as search engines. For example, inputting the word "Oxford" would bring up a list of sites containing information and news on Oxford.
|
| Search engines often work by sending out "spiders", which are autonomous internet programs that trawl the Web looking for sites not to include in their database, sending back information about each site they visit as they do so.
You may have heard people saying they found something on "Google", "Yahoo" or "Sohu". These are all search engines.
But how do you get to a search engine ? Go on to the next page to find out. |
