2. 2
   Enter your search. Most browsers have a search engine linked to the address bar. You can simply type into the field and press Enter to search the internet using the browser's default search engine.

   • For example, if you're looking for the URL of Geico, the insurance company, you could type "Geico" or "Geico Insurance".
   • If you're searching for something with multiple words (such as a first and last name or a longer business name), try placing your search in quotation marks for more precise results. Example: "Robyn Fenty" or "Jersey Shore".
   • If you're trying to find a person or business with a common name, it can be helpful to include the location and/or a helpful keyword in your search.
   • Alternatively, go to https://www.google.com/ and enter your search in the field.
     • Google is the most popular search engine, but there are many alternatives. If you don't find what you're looking for on Google (or just prefer to use something different), check out Bing or DuckDuckGo.
