A search engine is a computer program that helps you find specific information about a subject matter you are interested in. You enter a term or a phrase, called a “keyword,” about whatever you want to learn about. The search engine then gives you a list of the websites that may have the most relevant information about the topic. This list is called a search engine results page (SERP). Some of the examples of search engines include Google, Bing, DuckDuck Go, Yandex, and Dogpile.
A search engine is like a librarian. You tell her the topic you are working on, and she provides you with a list of books and where to find them in the library.
