Module Four - Searching the web: search engine task

1. Choose your most commonly used internet search engine and do a search for the words: advanced internet users.
  • record the first hit and number of hits in your learning log
Results 1 - 10 of about 118,000,000 for advanced internet users. (0.30 seconds)

Well like many, I commonly use Google. The results are as follows:

However, I will explore the main site
www.k12science.org later.

Totally irrelevant. Nor could I find the word "advanced" on the page.
I have put the first five results of this search rather than just the first as this was the better result, of this task and the next.
