4. Search Engines
A search engine is an application that helps you nd relevant information on the
World Wide Web. Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Ask Jeeves, and AltaVista are amongst the
most popular engines in the market today. You should not confuse search engines
and browsers. Browsers are programs that allow you to visit web pages. Their aim
is not to retrieve information but to display pages where information can be found.
Firefox, Safari, and IE (Internet Explorer) are examples of browsers. Search engines
ignore punctuation, which includes @, #, %, and other characters.

Example If you type Carmen Fernandez, the result will show pages where the words
Carmen and Fernandez appear together and separately whereas if you type
“Carmen Fernandez”, the result will show only those instances in which these
words appear together.
4. Type the operator Dene in front of the term to obtain denitions of that word throughout

Step 4: Choose the Number format for level 1. The chosen style will be shaded.
You can then choose other features for it. You can add a parenthesis, a
dot, or a dash.
Step 5: Decide the Font you want for your list. Font here refers to both
letters and numbers. You can change the look of a number as well as a
letter.
Step 6: Choose the “alignment” and “indentation” for your list under Position.
You should click Set for All Levels if you wish these alignment and
indentation features to apply to the whole list.
Step 7: Repeat all the steps for the different levels of your list.

elements in computers and create a multilevel list of all the computer elements/
characteristics that have been mentioned in the text.
Computer Peripherals
Copyright © 2013. Macmillan Iberia, S.A.. All rights reserved.
The monitor, the keyboard, and the mouse are three of the
main peripherals of your computer. Regarding the rst one,
TFT computer monitors are the best because they provide
you with better visual effects. CRT monitors are another
possibility. They are cheaper but not as good. Keyboards
don’t differ that much from each other. Some have keys for
Internet access, other have keys for games. Another feature
might be the keys for increasing or decreasing the volume
of sound. Mouses (or mice) fall into two categories, optical
mouse or roller mouse. Everybody seems to agree that the
optical mouse is the best.
