Assign ment

The purpose of this exercise is to practice Internet searches using a variety of search engines.
Search the Internet for "search engines". Believe it or not, there are many available.
Take some time to use a variety of search engines to get a feel for the type of information found in each.

For each item, record the item name of the item and the following in some type of document (typed).
