Search engines, searching the www, searching the web, searching the internet, searching pages on the internet
One of things I hate to do is search the web. Try searching for blueberry farms in your area. You will probably find 50,000 pages on the internet about blueberries and no farms in your area. I learned that one of the things that helps is to narrow down the search, by adding other keywords to the search, separated by commas. Search for blueberries, louisiana or blueberries, baton rouge. Now search for baton rouge, blueberries.
Some good search engines are:
There are thousands of search engines. You will find that most of these engines depend on each other and that most searches on any search engine get you to the same place.
Suppose you search for world war 2 and you find the number one page has lots of stuff on it. However you can't find world war 2 on the page. Rather than read the entire page, just do this exercise. Look at the top of your screen and you will see the words file, edit, view, etc. Click the word edit with your left mouse button. you will now see the words find on this page. Click find on this page. A window will open. Type in a word that you want to find and click find.
Ok lets see if it worked.
Go to www.altavista.com and search for blueberries, baton rouge.
Gee,
Web Pages 337,587 pages found.
However my page about my farm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana pops up as number one.

Ok go to this page. When you get there, click edit. Click find on this page. Type in blueberries.
Click find next.
Every time you find the word blueberries, click find next. You will find the word blueberries 6 times.
I wish they had the internet when I was in school. I could have written that book report on Moby Dick.
