STEP FIFTEEN (Finding Things on the Web)

Okay, so you found Apple's webpage, but how do you find other websites? You search for them, and you can do that right within Safari, as there's a search field in the top right-hand corner of Safari's window that lets you search using the hottest Web search engine on the planetGoogle. To search for a site, you just have to click your mouse once in the Google field, and type the word you're searching for. For example, if you want to find webpages that have information on Nikon cameras, just type the word "Nikon" in the Google field, then press the Return key on your keyboard. In just seconds, Google gives you a list of all the sites it found that contain information about Nikon, and they're listed by order of relevance, so naturally the first link it lists is Nikon's own website. To jump directly to that site, just click on the blue underlined link that reads "Nikon USA." Other sites are listed below where you can learn more or buy Nikon cameras (the site links listed on the right side of the window are paid links, so these are usually sites that sell products).

NARROW YOUR SEARCH

TIP Now, if you want to be more specific and search for a digital camera, and you type it as digital camera, you'll get search results that show every site that contains the word "digital" or the word "camera." In my search, that produced more than 49 million sites. So, to narrow your search, put quotes around the entire phrase (as in "digital camera"), and then Google will search for that exact phrasedigital cameraand not the word "digital," then the word "camera."
