What is the purpose of a search engine?

To find specific websites
To store and manage data
To connect two computers
To encrypt data

The correct answer is: To find specific websites

A search engine's main purpose is to help users find specific websites or information on the internet. Option B, storing and managing data, is referring to a database or a file management system rather than a search engine. Option C, connecting two computers, is more related to networking and communication rather than searching for specific information. Option D, encrypting data, is a security measure and not related to the function of a search engine. Therefore, the correct answer is A as it best describes the primary purpose of a search engine.
