Searching the Web

You can find information on the Web in a variety of ways. When you click the Search button on the toolbar, the Explorer bar appears at the left of the window. It provides access to a number of search services that offer different kinds of searching capabilities. Try out the different search services to see what kinds of information they provide.

If you want to find information extra quickly, you can use the AutoSearch feature by typing go, find, or ? followed by a word or phrase, right in the Address bar. Internet Explorer immediately starts a search using its predetermined search service.

Then, after you go to a Web page, you can search for specific text on that page.

To start your search, click one of the following links:
