Tip:
wwwmsn.com
search did not work- Why?
wwwmsncom, Sorry, no information- Why?
So you have heard of MSN, fired up the trusty Internet Explorer and typed
one of the following phrase's in the search bar, wwwmsn.com, wwwmsncom,
httpmsn.com, http msn.com, msn.com.,or
perhaps httpmsn.com, hit search, "---" Eh, Not what you expected,
WHY?
You are
not alone,
over 10,400,000 people a year type in wwwmsn.com, over
11,600,000 type in msn.com., and 5,080,000
enter http msn.com, and many more msn, all with the same result, Confusion.
The
problem is two-fold, the solution is easy.
Let
us have a look at one phrase in particular and you can apply the same
solution to the others.
When you typed in msn.com., you will probably have entered this into a
white text box somewhere in the top third part of your browser which may
by default have an AOL or MSN webpage showing.
This is actually a search text box where you need to type in what you
are searching for as a term. Using msn.com. as an example, if you had
typed in just msn, you would have found the search engine coming back
with a myriad of pages that have the term msn on their pages and then
you could have selected what interests you.
The search text box is where you type in, as an example a phrase like
"acne and acupunture". Hit the search button and bingo, several
relevant sites will be shown.
msn.com.
is not a search term but an internet address. If you have a correct address
and want to go to that site, you need to enter it in the address bar
which is normally just under the top toolbar of your browser. You
will see that most address bars have a go button on the right as opposed
to a search button as in the search box described before.
The
last part of the solution is in the spelling of msn.com. msn.com. should
in fact be written as follows, http://www.msn.com/. You were mighty close,
but computers are wickedly logical and a missing forward slash often equals
despair.
In
conclusion;
1-
Search phrases go in the search text box,
2- Addresses go in the top address bar,
3- Addresses need to be spelt correctly.
wwwmsncom corrected is http://www.msn.com/ ,
msn.+com corrected is http://www.msn.com/,
httpmsn.com corrected is http://www.msn.com/
wwwmsncom is www.msn.com and
msncom corrected is http://www.msn.com/. Happy surfing!
