There are many search engines Some are regional, mainly for your own country, others are international.
Some koncentrate on one subject, others try to keep check of all the
world's pages.
You just write the adress of the web-site in the adress field and press
'Return' or 'Enter'.
Some times the adress in the adress field change when you have pressed 'Enter'. That is not important, it is only caused by the way the web-site is organized.
The most used international search engines are altavista, yahoo and
many others.
The adress to altavista is www.altavista.com
Yahoo is named www.yahoo.com
Others are www.lycos.com www.hotbot.com
www. and many others.
Yahoo has branches in many countries. The german is www.yahoo.de, the french is www.yahoo.fr, etc. etc. If you want to find the adress of a page from a certain country, perhaps the local search engine is better than the international.
Many search engines only know the pages that have been listed by the owners of the page. Others, like Altavista, also search for the pages on its own initiative.
