The meaning of "try the Internet"
If you need more information, you might try the Internet.
I don't know what the word "try" means in this sentence. Does the speaker think the listener has never used the Internet and suggest using it for the first time? Or do they just recommend searching the Internet?

It's a combination of your two interpretations. It is a recommendation. The writer/speaker presumes that the other person has not tried using the internet in search of this particular information.

In this case, they recommend searching the internet to find the answer to the question they had asked. "Try" does not mean the person has never used something before
