If you’re already browsing the website you want to find the URL for, skip down to Step 6. Google is the most popular search engine, but there are many alternatives. If you don’t find what you’re looking for on Google (or just prefer to use something different), check out Bing or DuckDuckGo.
If you’re searching for something with multiple words (such as a first and last name or a longer business name), try placing your search in quotation marks for more precise results. Example: “Robyn Fenty” or “Jersey Shore”. If you’re trying to find a person or business with a common name, it can be helpful to include the location and/or a helpful keyword in your search. Example: Vinnie’s Pizza in Belmar NJ or “Joey Roberts” lawyer New Orleans.
If you’re using a computer, all or part of the website’s URL appears just above the link you click to view the site. For example, if you searched for wikiHow, you’ll see www. wikihow. com above it. Not all search results are for official websites. For example, if you’re searching for a company, you may see search results for that company’s Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook pages, as well as their website. You may also see search results for similar companies and reviews of that company.
If you’re using a PC or Mac, click the URL to highlight it, and then press Control + C (PC) or Command + C (Mac) to copy it. On a phone or tablet, tap and hold the URL in the address bar, and then tap Copy when the menu appears.
If you’re using a PC or Mac, right-click (or press Control as you click on a Mac) the place you’d like to paste the URL, and then click Paste on the menu. On a phone or tablet, tap and hold the place you want to paste the URL, and then tap Paste when it appears on the menu.
