Searching the Web
The Internet app makes it easy for you to search the Web, so you don’t need to know every URL of every web page out there (which is good considering there are literally billions of web pages). As you type, the Internet app suggests search terms you’ve used in the past as well as search terms you might be looking for.
On the Home screen, tap Apps.
Tap Internet.
Tap the Address field at the top of the screen. The keyboard opens at the bottom of the screen so you can type the URL. Start typing your search term. As you type, a list appears underneath the address bar with suggestions. You can stop typing at any time and scroll down the list to find your search term; tap the search term to select it and start the search.
If you haven’t found what you’re looking for, open the Google search page by tapping Go in the keyboard.
The results display in a Google search results page. Tap any link to go to a page; you can also tap one of the links at the bottom of the screen to view more results.

You can search deeper within Google itself. For example, if you put a + in front of a search term, you’re telling Google that you require the word in the search results. If you put quotes around a search term (“term”), you’re telling Google that you want to search for results that contain that term. Scroll to the bottom of the search page and then tap Help to get more information about how you can get the most from your Google searches.

If you look at the top of Google’s search results page, you see links so you can search for more than text terms, including Images and Videos. If you click the More link, a pop-up list displays so you can search a variety of other areas within Google.
