Beginning Basic Browsing
The important thing to remember when you first begin browsing the web is the Web address of a site you wish to visit. Go up to the "Address Bar" near the top of the page, and click on it. Now you can type in the Web address of the site you want, and then press enter. Internet Explorer will go to this site directly from whatever document you were currently viewing. This is much faster than going to a search engine and trying to locate the site you want in their directories, or searching for it with a query. (Address Bar shown below)
Your first time that you browse the web, you may have some difficulty. Efficiently browsing the Web is just like any other complex task in life, it takes practice to be good at it. Internet Explorer has some built-in features which will help to make it easier for you to browse the web. The fastest way to get to a place that you don’t know its address and you want to search for, is to click on the "Search" button on the Internet Explorer main toolbar. This button will take you to a document within Microsoft's home site. On this document you will find a choice of categories to look through and a list Search Engines to use. A Search Engine is an application that will attempt to find any documents that contain the subject or phrase that you enter into the search parameters. You can also browse through the categories of Web sites that the search engines have already organized for you.
Alternatively you can go to specific search engines that you know their address.
