Surfing the web means displaying documents published in electronic format by other organizations or individuals. Each of these documents is accessed through its address also known as URL. To display a specific document, you can either click on a link that points to this document, or manually enter its URL in the corresponding field on the top of your navigator.
If you are looking for information about a specific topic but you don't know where to find it, you can perform a global search, based on keywords, with a web search engine such as Googletm.
