Review Web browsers and effective search before starting →Ideas to recall
- The address bar can open a known URL or send a search query.
- Specific nouns, phrases, dates, and source types improve search relevance.
- Search ranking is not the same as accuracy or authority.
- Open results carefully and verify the actual domain.
Use these ideas to reason through each question; answer-specific explanations appear only after you check a response.
