T HE SEARCH ENGINE G oogle is the most widely used Web search engine—byfar. Why? It’s a “meta” search engine, searching the results of other search engines in addition to searching foritself. It uses a very fast text interface with no pop-up orbanner ads. It offers other searching functions and fea-tures—a one-stop shop for many common needs. The search tabs at www.google.com Google currently has five main search functions, shown as tabs above. In each case, click on the tab then en-ter your search term(s) in the search box. Click “GoogleSearch” to get results that match your search criteria or use“I’m Feeling Lucky,” which automatically brings you tothe first search result (not to Google’s list of results).
