Activity 01-Searching
* Search engines such as Google, Yahoo and
Exalead are just a few of many search engines. I particularly like google
scholar but it depends on the information you are searching for, forums are a
great source of information and may help in narrowing down any search ie:
someone else may have performed similar searches and performed all the hard work
for you. I stumbled across a multitude of search engines and have placed the
link below:
*Narrowing down your search by using specific
keywords also using simple terms.
*Placing related: in front of your search
term will also bring up related sites which may help you in narrowing the
search
*Using google wildcard *, using this
technique with a one word search google will bring up items it deems relevant
to the term although this may also widen your search but it also brings
opportunity for narrowing your search.
*And is classified as a stop word but by
placing a + in front of AND this is telling the search engine to include those
words in the results.
