Using Search Engines such as Google, Bing, etc.
Keywords related to a topic are typed into a search "box", the search tools then scans its database and returns a file with links to websites containing the words or phrases entered. They often return thousands of results.
To use earch engines effectively, try to apply these techniques to narrow down your results to what you actually need:
- Identify keywords, and break the topic down to key concepts.
- Boolean "and": using the word "and" between search terms tells the engine to retrieve web pages containing all the keywords.
- Boolean "and not": placing "and not" tells the engine to retrieve results containing one keyword, but not another.
- Try using a Meta Search Engine, or websites that search other engines at the same time. For more information, go here .
