Some three days ago, I read an article on the Internet about the history of the London Underground railway. It just completed 150 years and became a model for all the world to follow for metro transportation. The same article came two days later in the newspaper in Bengaluru. But I had already read it, and shared it with a couple of people. That is the power of the Internet!
Now those using computers and Internet cannot deny a dependence on Google. Google is a HUGE and profitable company built on the service of a Search Engine. A Search Engine is a powerful network of computers with extremely intelligent methods or programs to CONSTANTLY search the millons of computers around the world as well as various publications, archives, and data bases to collect and catalog information. Each piece of information has at a minimum two propoerties:
1. It has a linkable URL or address which can be connected to using the Internet.
2. It matches some search terms which we can use to find out its existence and URL.
For example, if I google the search terms "white tiger population in Bannerghatta zoo Bengaluru", let me see what results I get:

The top two reults are:

These results came up because Google's Search method ranks them to be MOST LIKELY to answer my area of interest.
Try making some searches on Google Search. You can't go wrong... you will see lots of information of interest. In addition, the Search can be restricted to images, websites, news, videos etc.
Since Google Search is a free service supported by advertisements, you will see lots of advertisements all over the page. Skip them if you do not want to buy something or book a trip etc. Just go down the page and click on the Web Results.
Just also always remember, all the information on the Internet is NEITHER ACCURATE NOR UP-TO-DATE NOR TRUSTWORTHY. So think and consult local experts before you take up health treatments, diets, shop or travel based on Internet advice.
Now I give you a link to a nice "Infographic" which means information arranged like a poster on Google Search. Click on the image at the top, or the line below to see a number of tips on how you can use Google Search better.
Note: once you click the link, depending on your computer settings, you may see the poster of tips or just see a vertical colourful ribbon pakora on the left. Dont try to eat it, but click on the image and it will bloom into a typical American-looking poster.
Some tips and trick on searching and using Google Search.
