| Search engines are useful tools aimed at helping users find exactly what they need. Search engines make a data bank of websites by sending "spiders" or "robots" to crawl through the Web, going from link to link. When they get to a website, they index most words on the available pages. When you use a search engine, the engine scans its database of sites to match your keywords to those same keywords in pages in the data bank. How to make the search more effective? - Specify what you're searching for The more specific you are, the more info you'll find. Tell the search engine exactly what you're looking for. For example, if you're seeking science experiments, enter School Science Fair Projects alternatively of science projects. If you know it's a chemistry experiment, add the word 'chemistry' to your search. - The + symbol Put the most crucial words in your search first. To ensure the search engine finds pages containing all the words you're seeking, place the + symbol in front of each word. Fir instance, if you're looking for info on Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake, then enter +Biel +Timberlake. Only pages containing both words will be on the list. - The - symbol When you're searching for something specific, use the - symbol in front of each term. Fir instance, if you're seeking info on Roger Federer but don't want to read about his charity work, enter Roger Federer -Charity Work. - Quotation marks When search words are put in quotation marks, it's called a "phrase search." The engine will provide a list of pages that have the words in the exact order as in quotations. Fir instance, if you're searching specifically for a bio on Victoria Beckham, enter "Victoria Beckham Biography". - Using a combination of symbols Once you have found out how the + and - symbols work, try combining them to narrow down your search. A better search, than subtracting words, may be to do the following: Ciara -Never Ever -"Album Review" - Using booleans Booleans (pronounced boo lee ans) can be used in most major search engines when they allow some kind of advanced searching. The most popular booleans are AND, OR and NOT. Booleans are similar to the + and - symbols. AND means "include all of the words," OR means "include any of the words" and NOT means "exclude." For example, if you're searching for information on bags and shoes, enter bags AND shoes. Your search will bring back websites that contain both those words. |
