To search for specific information on the Internet, you can use a search engine. A search engine is a website that allows you to type in a word or phrase, and then will search throughout the Internet for information about that topic. As you can imagine, you may wind up with thousands of possible sites with information you are looking for. Many of those sites however, will not be related to the subject you are seeking. Effective searching can save you a lot of wasted time and energy.
