If you have been out browsing the Web on your own at all you already know how vast the amount of information is and what trial it can be to find your way to what you need without spending the whole day wandering about. If so, you must be asking yourself how you're going to use the Internet effectively without a good reference that can change daily as more information is added to the Web. Easy as pie! You have it already and it's called a search engine

A search engine allows you to find World Wide Web pages or other material on the Internet that contain specific words or phrases. For instance, if you want to find information about George Washington you can type in his name, click on a search button, and the search engine will return a list of all Web pages that contain information about Abraham Lincoln - When this was written there were over 1000!
