Quick Guide: Using Google Search

Introduction

The Internet has a lot of information available for people to use. There are pictures, stories, movies, and educational things we can download day or night. There is so much stuff that sometimes we need help finding what we are looking for, so we use a search engine like Google. To help you use Google quickly and easily, follow this quick guide.

Google will find the best matches to your request. Each match comes with a hyperlink, typed and underlined in blue for you to click on with your mouse.
