Using Keywords to Search for Information

Keywords are words that describe the information you are looking for.

Keywords are the words and phrases that people type into internet browsers to find what they're looking for. For example, if you were going to buy a new jacket from an online source, you might type something like “mens leather jacket” into Google.
