WWW: Searching the Web.
The Web is a worldwide resource of information. A primary reason that people use the Web is to search for specific information, including text, pictures, music, and video.
A search engine is helpful in locating information for which you do not know an exact Web address or are not seeking a particular Web site.
Thirteen types of Web sites are portal, news, informational, business/marketing, blog, wiki, online social network, educational, entertainment, advocacy, Web application, content aggregator, and personal. Many Web sites fall in more than one of these categories.
