1.

• a. The title is is Google and the URL is https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl.
• b. This webpage appeared because Chrome is programmed to initially access this website.
  I can change this setting by opening Chrome, clicking Settings on the right, and then selecting
  which webpage I would like to automatically load when launching the web browser.

2. I can change the font face and size by clicking Advanced Settings, then Web content.
I also have the option of choosing a theme by clicking Appearance under Settings. This is useful
if I am unable to read the text because it is too small, or if I want to personalize my web browser.

3. The default search engine is Google, and it automatically loads when I open my web browser.

4.

• a. I got 164 million matches. I estimate that only a small fraction of the searches actually teach one to make web pages.
• b. I got 9,580 matches. I estimate that at least half of these results relate to making web pages.

5. The number results for the other search engines were all consistently lower than the results for Google;
however, they were all around the same number. I may use one of these search engines if I do not want to be
bombarded with as many results, but want more specific, targeted results.

6. I would consider Wolfram Alpha a special kind of search engine. You type in a subject, click search,
and are given information about that subject. However, the information is of a specific nature, so one would
only use Wolfram Alpha in very particular contexts.

7.

• a. The metasite offered results from other search sites, particularly Google and Yahoo. Other than that,
  it seemed very similar to a normal search site.
• b. Dogpile did not reveal he number of searches, only the searches themselves. The matches were organized
  into the following categories: Web, Images, Video, News, Local, Shopping, White Pages.
• c. It is difficult to estimate this, because I did not know the exact number of matches. However, it seemed
  like most of the matches related to making web pages.

8.

• a. Again, Mamma did not reveal how many matches there were. The matches were organized into the following
  categories: Web, News, Images, Video, Local.
• b. The Mamma matches were basically useless. Each match title began with the word Learn, but then was
  followed by to be a photographer or how everything works. The matches were not specific to web pages at all.

9.

• a. I looked at all of the available search engines and none of them had multimedia as a search category.
• b. N/A
• c. N/A
• d. N/A
