Introduction

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a global network of billions of computers and other electronic devices.
With the Internet, it's possible to access almost any information, communicate with anyone
else in the world, and do much more.

You can do all of this by connecting a computer to the Internet, which is also called
going online. When someone says a computer is online, it's just another way of saying it's
connected to the Internet.

Nowadays, people tend to use Internet as a source of information for their everyday
work. In just one click, a vast of information will be immediately retrieved from the Internet
which we then collect and select the necessary data that we want to acquire.

So, what are the requirements for Internet search?

In this lesson, we will discuss on the term/s we encountered when we do the searching
through the Internet.
 LET’S
LEARN

REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNET SEARCH

1. BROWSERS

Web Browsers are software installed on your PC. To access the Web, you need a web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. You must be using any sort of
Web browser while you are navigating through a certain site. On the Web, when you navigate
through pages of information, this is commonly known as web browsing or web surfing. There
are four leading web browsers − Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, but there are many
others browsers available. While developing a site, we should try to make it compatible to as
many browsers as possible. Especially sites should be compatible to major browsers like
Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari.

Internet Internet Explorer (IE) is a product from software giant

Explorer Microsoft. This is the most commonly used browser in the
universe. This was introduced in 1995 along with Windows
95 launch and it has passed Netscape popularity in 1998.

Google Chrome This web browser is developed by Google and its beta
version was first released on September 2, 2008 for
Microsoft Windows. Today, chrome is known to be one of
the most popular web browsers with its global share of more
than 50%.

Mozilla Firefox Firefox is a new browser derived from Mozilla. It was

released in 2004 and has grown to be the second most
popular browser on the Internet.

Safari Safari is a web browser developed by Apple Inc. and

included in Mac OS X. It was first released as a public beta
in January 2003. Safari has very good support for latest
technologies like XHTML, CSS2 etc.

Opera Opera is smaller and faster than most other browsers, yet it
is full- featured. Fast, user-friendly, with keyboard interface,
multiple windows, zoom functions, and more. Java and non
Java-enabled versions available. Ideal for newcomers to the
Internet, school children, handicap and as a front-end for
CD-Rom and kiosks.
2. URL

Also known as an internet address or web address, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is
a form of URI and standardized naming convention for addressing documents accessible over
the Internet and Intranet. An example of a URL is https://www.google.com, which is the URL
for the Google Search website.
Overview of a URL

Below is an additional information about each of the sections of the http URL for the Computer
Hope web page.

3. SEARCH ENGINES

A search engine is software accessed on the Internet that searches a database of information
according to the user's query. The engine provides a list of results that best match what the
user is trying to find. Today, there are many different search engines available on the Internet,
each with its own abilities and features. The first search engine ever developed is considered
Archie, which was used to search for FTP files, and the first text-based search engine is
considered Veronica. Currently, the most popular and well-known search engine is Google.
Other popular search engines include AOL, Ask.com, Baidu, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo.

Examples of Search Engine with corresponding URL:

Search Engines URL

Google http://www.google.com
Bing http://www.bing.com
Yahoo https://www.yahoo.com
Baidu https://www.baidu.com
Yandex https://yandex.com

Naver https://www.naver.com
AOL https://www.aol.com
Seznam https://www.seznam.cz

4. BOOKMARKS

A bookmark is a saved shortcut that directs your browser to a specific webpage. It

stores the title, URL, and favicon of the corresponding page. Saving bookmarks allows you to
easily access your favorite locations on the Web.

All major web browsers allow you to create bookmarks, though each browser provides a
slightly different way of managing them. For example, Chrome and Firefox display your
bookmarks in an open window, while Safari displays them in a list in the sidebar of the
browser window. Internet Explorer uses the name "Favorites" to refer to bookmarks, and like
Safari, it displays all your favorites in a list within the browser window sidebar.

How to view bookmarks using shortcuts

 Google Chrome – Ctrl + Shift + O

 Mozilla Firefox – Ctrl + B or Ctrl + Shift + B
  Microsoft Edge – Ctrl + I
 Opera – Ctrl + Shift + B

5. LINKS

A link (short for hyperlink) is an HTML object that allows you to jump to a new location
when you click or tap it. Links are found on almost every webpage and provide a simple
means of navigating between pages on the web.
