1.  Examine finding websites using different types of search engines.   

       Search engines help you to find useful information easily.

       Search engines can be mainly divided into three sections. 'keyword search engine', 'menu search engine', 'meta search engines'

       Keyword search engine is the way to find information by entering search words.(http://www.yahoo.com)

       Menu search engine is the way to find information step by step, 'main category' -> 'medium category' -> 'small category', in order. (http://www.lycos.com)

       Meta search engine is an intelligent search engine.

       After searching information in various search engines, the result is combined or outputted each search engine.

Recently, this distinction is disappearing.
