So letrsquos Google better Describe your search as completely as possible to
narrow -- donrsquot capitalize Google is case insensitive(eg a search for carnivore obtains a game a type of animal and an FBI program so specify your term)
Add quotes to limit search to those sites with this specific phrase ldquohistory of chocolaterdquo
Limit search to specific sites or file types ldquohistory of chocolaterdquo -com filetypeppt
+ to include - to exclude (no spaces)Most search
engines have an advanced search
similar to Googlersquos
Go see William the conker (er)

Boolean Logic for Searches AND -- This is assumed by Google No need to add it
ineg Chocolate AND cadbury = chocolate cadbury
OR -- finds either term =chocolate OR cadbury
Stemming now works Still use your wildcards whole words only = any word
Nested Boolean Searcheschocolate AND [diet OR health]
Donrsquot discard spelling errors Try doing it double

Narrowing the search even further
Special Syntax filetype intitle allintitle site intitle amp site (combo) intext related

There are many converters available donrsquot worryhelliphttpaausnonavymildatadocsJulianDatehtml
Stop words I a the of etc
Put them in quotesFor the maths dept onlysitecom siteedu assumes an AND Use this to make it ORsomething (siteedu | sitecom)

DirectoriesWhen you go to the library you have
subject author title etc searches
Mostly you stick to lsquosubjectrsquo
Thatrsquos what you can do with Google too
The Directory describes the whole web site so the result is a reduced subject specific search
8
Remember this about Google Advertising you can pay to have sites
ranked at the top Results listing is not accurate it is transitory Will not show more than 1000 results per search Will not search more than ten words in search box
use your wild cards here they donrsquot count Wonrsquot show more than two results per site Google gives its highest rating to sites that have
lots of links from other sites

Sample searches william the conquorer
Incorrect spelling but still 140 results william the conqueror
Better but now 142000 results ldquowilliam the conquerorrdquo
Even better now only 79600 ldquowilliam the conquerorrdquo siteedu
More educational and only 2800 results william the conqueror siteedu from the directory
Now really focused and only 321 results william the conqueror siteedu filetypeppt
Now seriously focused and only 38 results
Feeling really lucky Use the button results =1

Some more cool stuff Google Labs ndash the coolest feature of all Google calculates Calculate in words Google defines Google translates Look up the news Where to get pictures Speak
Swedish chef Elmer Fudd Klingon
Go shopping with Froogle or catalogues Give the sets a go Join a group (ok this is daggy but some people like it)
Try the definitions search box for maths or irrational number teacher
Try converting celsius to fahrenheit and more

Google Whacking
The lsquogamersquo of finding 2 words searches (no quotes) that yield only one result

Cheat Google
13
So why bother with anything else Unseen WEB ndash Google doesnrsquot get to everything
You may need to use other engines in conjunction Quality specific Information ndash
demands better searching skills
Nature of Structured DocumentsAdvanced Search Training
Sometimes you are looking for a more obscure site You may be searching a material type that another
search engine will do better
chancehellip all search engines search a slightly different database - you just might be luckier with another
14
15
So what are our alternative engines
Meta search engines search several different search engines simultaneously and return first 10 or so hits from each
theyrsquore fast but may miss potentially useful sites not included in first 10
Using Ixquick and
then Dogpile search
for ldquocyberlawrdquo
Which display do you prefer and why
16
Other alternatives beinghellipMeta-Searches these organize links
received from searches by more then one search engine

DirectoriesWhen you go to the library you have
subject author title etc searches
Mostly you stick to lsquosubjectrsquo
Thatrsquos what you can do with Google too
The Directory describes the whole web site so the result is a reduced subject specific search
8
Remember this about Google Advertising you can pay to have sites
ranked at the top Results listing is not accurate it is transitory Will not show more than 1000 results per search Will not search more than ten words in search box
use your wild cards here they donrsquot count Wonrsquot show more than two results per site Google gives its highest rating to sites that have
lots of links from other sites
