How To Use Popular Search Terms

When you are searching for something on Google.com, the website itself is built to help you find what you're looking for. Google will give you hints about what other people are searching for, especially if it's related to what you enter in the search box.

When you start to type in Google's search box, watch as the letters appear -- Google will suggest how to complete either the word or the phrase you're typing, showing the top four or five related searches in your area.

If you see what you're looking for among Google's suggestions, use either your arrow keys or your mouse to select the search you want.

If your search terms don't appear, it's all right; just keep typing as usual. Simple as that.
