Describe how to perform a simple search for Ski-Doo recreation vehicles using a search engine.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Most search engines can handle both simple and complex searches. For a simple search, you just enter a topic and, perhaps, a few synonyms. To find information about Ski-Doo recreation vehicles, for example, you might enter "Ski-Doo recreation vehicles." A search engine responds by showing you a list of results or "hits" for Web pages that contain information on one or all of these topics. The list includes a short summary of each page and an underlined link that you can use to jump directly to it. With a simple search, a search engine often returns a huge list that might contain more than 10,000 hits. To get a smaller, more targeted list, you can use more sophisticated search techniques. Because each search engine provides a slightly different set of advanced search tools, you should consult your search engine's online Help for details on composing advanced searches.
