If you are concerned about someone monitoring your search keywords, you can use an SSL connection with Google. Just type in https://www.google.com. This doesn't prevent Google from logging your search requests, but it does ensure that your search is not being monitored by a third party on the internet.

The web-browser is a great tool for research. To find information on the web, you can use a search engine to look for relevant words (keywords) that are embedded in web-pages. Search engines store information about web-pages, which they gather using automated systems known as 'web-crawlers'. When you enter keywords into a search engine, they search their own databases for web-pages containing those keywords.
