All about Search Engines
A search engine is a tool that finds web pages that match the words you type. It uses programs called crawlers to scan billions of pages, and it ranks the results based on relevance and quality.
Good searching uses specific keywords, quotation marks for exact phrases and filters for images or videos. Not every result is reliable, so check who wrote the page, when it was updated and whether the information matches other trusted sources.
