# Getting started
Puppeteer will be familiar to people using other browser testing frameworks. You
[launch](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.puppeteernode.launch)/[connect](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.puppeteernode.connect)
a [browser](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.browser),
[create](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.browser.newpage) some
[pages](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.page), and then manipulate them with
[Puppeteer's API](https://pptr.dev/api).
The following example searches [developer.chrome.com](https://developer.chrome.com/) for blog posts with text "automate beyond recorder", click on the first result and print the full title of the blog post.
```ts
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
(async () => {
// Launch the browser and open a new blank page
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
// Navigate the page to a URL
await page.goto('https://developer.chrome.com/');
// Set screen size
await page.setViewport({width: 1080, height: 1024});
// Type into search box
await page.type('.devsite-search-field', 'automate beyond recorder');
// Wait and click on first result
const searchResultSelector = '.devsite-result-item-link';
await page.waitForSelector(searchResultSelector);
await page.click(searchResultSelector);
// Locate the full title with a unique string
const textSelector = await page.waitForSelector(
'text/Customize and automate'
);
const fullTitle = await textSelector?.evaluate(el => el.textContent);
// Print the full title
console.log('The title of this blog post is "%s".', fullTitle);
await browser.close();
})();
```
