Describe the Issue

The effective web search lesson is missing the six images from its original transcript. The current lesson includes the search queries as inline text.

Lesson file: curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/lecture-browsing-the-web-effectively/672ac9705b07a64439b73b59.md.

The images are being added in https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/cdn/pull/410 and need to be available on the CDN first. This is blocked by https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/cdn/pull/410.

The quotations below describe the original placements. They do not prescribe placement in the current lesson or changes to its wording. The contributor can choose suitable placements and write descriptive alt text.

Alternatively, maybe you're interested in freeCodeCamp's initiatives outside of the curriculum. In this case, you can prefix the term "curriculum" with a minus symbol:
