From the lecture slides today we were taught about different search engines. We were asked a few questions at the beginning about different search engines and other information about the Internet such as what is a Boolean search?
We were then told what a search engine is and what they are used for. “ A web based application that looks at all the sites on the web then puts them into lists/ categories based on textual information and key words.”
Different types of search engines
-Yahoo
-AltaVista
When using search engines you will more than likely get to many results than you need and have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what you can really use.
Tips for using search engines
1-use a range of different tools
2-when writing in keywords use many different words so can make a more controlled search
3-use advanced search places to find more precise information
In today’s tutorial we had to look at finding good search strategies and complete a quiz by using a search engine to find the answers.
Search strategies
1-brake down your search into defined keywords
2-make sure you know how to use the search engine well
3-search around to make sure information is fact
my quiz results to finish this quiz I used the yahoo search engine to find all the results as I found it gave me the answers directly.
