Finding other online stores
Retailers usually include their website addresses in adverts, or you can Google them using the search tips in Lesson 2 [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] . If the store is well-known – Asda, for example – it will usually appear at the top of the results.
You can use Google Shopping if you are looking for a specific item. When you search for something with Google, ‘Shopping’ is one of the tabs that appears below the address bar.
You can also go to Google apps by clicking on the nine-dot grid in the top right corner.
