7.2. Search Engine
With billions of websites online today, there is a lot
of information on the Internet. Search
engines make this information easier to find. A
Search engine is a web-based tool that enables
users to locate information on the internet.
How to Search the Web
There are many different search engines you can use, but some of the most popular
include Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. To
perform a search, you will need to open
a search engine in your web browser,
type one or more keywords also known
as search terms then press Enter on your
keyboard. In this example, we will search
for recipes.
After you run a search, you will see a
list of relevant websites that match your
search terms. These are commonly known as search results. If you see a site that looks
interesting, you can click a link to open it. If the site doesn’t have what you need, you can
simply return to the results page to look for more options.
Most browsers also allow you to perform
a web search directly from your address
bar, although some have a separate
search bar next to the address bar.
Simply type your search terms and press
Enter to run the search.

7.5. Microsoft OneDrive
OneDrive is a cloud storage service from Microsoft that
allows you to store all your important files securely in
one place and then access them virtually anywhere. It
works just like a traditional hard drive, but it’s on the
internet, and you get access to additional features. For
example, thanks to its cross-device and cross-platform
design, you can create a file on your computer, and
pick up where you left off on your laptop, tablet, or
phone without having to save a copy on a USB drive or
email the file to yourself. Also, OneDrive makes it easy to share content with other people,
and collaborate in real-time using its Office 365 integration.
107

7.8. Creating Password
To protect yourself and your information, you
will want to use passwords that are long, strong,
and difficult for someone else to guess while
still keeping them relatively easy for you to
remember. A strong password is one that is
designed to be hard for a person or program to
discover. Here are the tips for creating a strong
password:
• Never give out your password to anyone (except your parents).
• Create passwords that are easy to remember but hard for others to guess.
• Make the password at least 8 characters long.
• Never use your date of birth, birth city, phone number in passwords.
• Try to include numbers, symbols, and both uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Avoid using words that can be found in the dictionary. For example, Swimming1 or
gameplayer2 would be a weak password.
109
The City School 2021-2022
The easiest way to create a secure password
is to start with a simple password and turn it
into one that’s much more complex. The table Checkpoint

complete English word patterns: ools

which accounts for 16.82% of all
• C@ts-and-Dogs-Living- internet users in the world, and
together Firefox in third place with 4.09%.
By injecting numbers and special characters instead of letters, these passwords take
exponentially longer for a dictionary program to guess. The best password is one
that is very long and very complex like: zv:e8u):53z78+Ws
