23. Favorites (Bookmarks)
As you use the Web, you will find sites that you want
to re-visit. You do not have to write down the URL
for those sites. You can use Explorer to save your
favourite URLs for you in the Favourites folder. To
do this, once you arrive at a site that you want to
save, click on:
1. Favorites

with ‘bookmarks’; saved URLs are, in fact, better
known as bookmarks.

25. Internet Searching

26. Search Services

are indexed and then added to a search engine's
database. A search engines ‘index’ (record word by
word) all the words in a Web page, as well as those

Google, Altavista, Hotbot, Excite & others

27. Search Engines Features
AltaVista (www.altavista.com)
AltaVista is a command-driven search tool. It offers two levels
of searching and each has its own unique syntax. An overview
of each search level is provided below. To explore the full
range of searching options, refer to AltaVista’s help pages
Basic Level
• Natural language searching [Which cover crops are used in
Africa?] results: 47,920, 335
• + and - signs [+cover +crops +Africa] 16,678, [+cover +crops
-Africa] 57,272
• "Phrase" searching for both expressions and proper names
[+"cover crops" +Africa] 2,145
Truncation or word stemming [+"cover crops" +Afric*] 2,620

28. AltaVista
Advanced Level
· Boolean operators (AND, OR and NOT) permit the
user to combine search terms in order to acquire a better
control over their searches
· For example, the OR operator is used to link
synonyms or related terms together which broadens the
search. [“cover crops” OR “green manure”] 12,300
· The AND operator is used to retrieve references in
which all linked terms must be present. It will narrow the
search [cover AND crops AND Africa] 9,099
· The NOT operator is used to exclude references
containing specified terms. Use cautiously so not to
exclude useful papers [“cover crops” AND NOT Africa]
10,300

29. Search Engines Features
Google (www.google.com)
Google tends to give you the most relevant and
high-quality websites near the top of your results
list. A site's importance is measured in part by
how many other sites link to it -- the more
important the site, the higher it ranks in Google's
search results.
Example:
If your question is: What was the financial cost of
the Vietnam War?
then try typing: "vietnam war" cost billion
