Search
|| One of the most common things people do on the internet is to search for information.

One can search for a specific website or for some other information.

|-
|| Open Firefox web browser.
|| Mozilla Firefox has a number of functionalities that make it easy to search for information on the Internet.

Let’s look at some of the ways.

|-
|| In the URL bar, type ‘www.google.com’.
|| One way is to search by visiting other websites.
After all, search engines are websites too!

In the URL bar, type ‘www.google.com’.
The google home page comes up.

|-
|| In the main search box in the centre of the google home page, type ‘email’ >> Click Search.

Point to gmail.
|| In the search box of the google home page, type ‘email’ and click Search.

The search engine brings up all the results.

We see that the top result is for gmail, the email from google.

|-
||

Point to the Search bar field at the top right-hand corner.

|| But there is an easier way to do the same thing with Mozilla Firefox.

Next to the URL bar on the navigation toolbar, there is a Search bar field.
Alternately, you can press CTRL+K to directly go to the Search bar field.

|-
|| Click on the search bar and type ‘email’.

Click the magnifying glass icon that is next to it.
|| Click on the search bar and type ‘email’.

Click the magnifying glass icon that is next to it.

|-
||

Point to gmail.
|| We will see the results of the search in the contents area.

We see that the top result is for gmail, the email from google.

|-
|| Point to the logo of the search engine on the left side of the Search bar.
|| On the left side of the Search bar, the logo of the search engine which has been used to bring up the results is seen.

|-
|| Point to ‘google’.
|| The default search engine used in Mozilla Firefox is ‘google’.

But we need not be constrained by this.
We can choose the search engine of our choice.

|-
|| Click on google’s search engine logo, within the Search bar.
|| Click on the google’s search engine logo within the Search bar.

|-
|| Drag the cursor down pointing to all the options.
|| We notice that a drop down box appears with the logos of most popular search engines, including “Yahoo” and “Bing”.

|-
|| Select “Yahoo” from the drop down box.
|| Select “Yahoo” from the drop down box.

|-
||
Point to the “Yahoo” logo.
|| We observe that the logo on the left of the search bar has now changed to the “Yahoo” logo.

|-
|| Type ‘email’ again in the Search bar >> click the magnifying glass.
|| Now lets type ‘email’ again in the Search bar and click the magnifying glass.

|-
|| Point to the results shown.

|| This time we see that the results in the Contents area are from the “Yahoo” search engine.

|-
||

Point to “Yahoo”.

|| Observe that the results are slightly different from last time.

The top result is no longer gmail. Instead the top result is “Yahoo” mail.

|-
|| Click on the search engine logo within the Search bar again.

We don’t have to type the entire web address in the address bar.
