What is a search engine?
Search engines are tools that help you find information on the internet.
They work by searching millions of websites for the keywords you typed into the search box.

How do I search?
Choose your search engine
Type in the word or words you want to search for, click the 'search' button and wait. Hint: Don't type in a whole question or statement into the search box, like "what was the First Fleet" |
Keep it short - use 2 or 3 important words! Type "First Fleet" because all the other words aren't important.
