Finding the World in a Search Engine

For many people, their personal and professional lives are unthinkable without 

the Internet and the web. The Internet network is composed of interconnected 

pages (among other things). The web is composed of sites that are reachable by 

domains, each one composed of pages and hyperlinks that connect sites internally 

and with other sites externally. Service and knowledge resources are available 

through the web if you know exactly where to look. Accessing the web is unthink-

able without search engines, those sites that allow you to find anything on the 

web using a simple query.
