Search engines are a great tool to find information on just about any topic you can dream off. There are many engines out there but perhaps the most popular ones include Google, Yahoo, Ask.com, LiveSearch.com too name a few. Search engines are internet programs that act as a "seeker" of information on the world wide web.
To learn how to use search engines...
The first step in using a search engine is to go the search engines home page. For this example, I will use Google.
Open your internet browser and type in www.google.com in for the web address. This will take you to Googles Home Page.
From the home page, you can type in a search for whatever you are looking for.
For this example, I will search for humane societies located in north georgia. Type in your search and either hit your ENTER key or click the Google Search button. This will take you to the search results page.
From the search results page, you will can scroll thru all the web pages that have come up. There can thousands of listings so you may need to go back and limit your search search scope. Once you have decided on a web page that you want to view, click on the link and the web browser will take you to that page.
The trick to successfull searching is to be specific and have constraints on the search but be general enough to get results. It may take a couple of tries using different perimeters to find what you are looking for so don't get discouraged!
Happy Hunting!
