Find information on the Internet

In this video, we show you some simple tips on how to find the right information using search engines. Most search engines also display information that is summarized by an integrated AI and mark it accordingly. However, they will still list websites where you can search for answers yourself.

Search engines work amazingly accurately with just a few search terms. And they work with any browser.

Browsers and search engines are not the same thing! The browser is a program that makes Internet content visible and audible, whether as images, text, videos or music. And we use a search engine with the browser - it is also a program. The search engine helps us to find this content. It compares how often the entered terms or very similar terms appear on pages on the Internet.

The best-known browsers include Firefox (from Mozilla), Internet Explorer (from Microsoft), Edge (from Microsoft), Opera (from Opera Software), Chrome (from Google) and Safari (from Apple).

The best-known search engines include: Google (in which the AI Gemini is integrated) and Bing (from Microsoft, with the integrated AI Copilot).

It is also worth trying out the lesser-known search engines, which not only make it easier to find information, but also support additional objectives such as the preservation of our environment or which place particular emphasis on data protection. There are also search engines that display the results of several other search engines.

The search itself is quite simple: it is often enough to enter a word or a group of words and start the search by clicking on a search symbol.

Current browsers already have various search engines on board. This means that you can also enter the search term(s) in the address bar of the browser and press Enter or click on the search symbol.

After a while, you may have the feeling that you are seeing content that is pre-sorted according to your interests. You may then find yourself in a so-called "filter bubble". You can read more about this here:
