NEED
HELP WITH INTERNET SEARCHING?
Before you search using Google, Yahooligans, or other
search engines,try
some of these tips and tricks*:
1. Use quotation marks to search for words in a certain
order.
examples:
"World War I" or "Hubble Space Telescope"
2. A minus
sign will exclude a word from a search.
example:
Bears -Chicago (will not include Chicago in a search
about bears)
3. You can
use Google to search a certain type of site, such as .edu
or .org. (This feature will only work with Google.)
example: war
site:edu (will search for "war" on .edu sites)
example: cancer site:org (will search for "cancer" on
.org sites)
4. You can
combine these steps to create very specific searches.
example:
"World War" -II
example (using Google): "World War" -II site:edu
