 How to Do a Google Search This video will show you how to use search terms to search on Google. When you open your browser, type www.google.com, then you're taken to the main page. You type your search terms into the box in the middle of the page. Let's imagine I wanted to research forests. I would type forest into the box as my search term, and then I would hit enter. When I look at the search results, I have a lot of results on different American forests. This search didn't turn up what I wanted. I want to know about forests in Washington State. So now I'll hit comma and type in Washington State. Then hit enter. Now I have images of forests in Washington State, a list of forests, and more information about forests in Washington State. If I want to narrow down my results some more, then I would add another search term like rainforest. When I search for rainforest in Washington State, I'm given information about that particular type of forest in this state. So the more search terms you use, the more specific and accurate your results should be.
