7. TIPS ON IMPROVING SEARCH AND
RESEARCH SKILLS
Online search and research are more than just
‘googling’ – typing a word in Google and then
clicking the search button. It is a skill that
every Internet user should know to do smart
searching and this starts with improving
search and research skills to get better results.

8. TIPS ON IMPROVING SEARCH AND RESEARCH
SKILLS
1. When searching online, narrow your topic.
Identify the key concepts or important ideas.
Assuming that you would like to search for the answer to this
question:
“What precautionary measures should you observe when you are
logged in in a public computer?”
Do not type the whole question in the search box.Typing the whole
question often leads to a large number of and inappropriate search
results.

9. From the question, the keywords are: precautionary
measures, observed, logged-in, public computer.
Keywords are terms that are used in by most search
engines to find related documents

10. TIPS ON IMPROVING SEARCH AND
RESEARCH SKILLS
2. Use the word “AND” between each keyword to create a search string.You may
type the following in the search box: Precautionary measures AND observe
AND logged-in AND public computer

11. INTERNET TTIPS ON IMPROVING SEARCH
AND RESEARCH SKILLSHREATS
3. Identify synonyms of the key words. Not all databases or
articles use the same words to describe a topic.
Group similar words together by using the word “OR”
for a quick and relevant search.
In the case of our example: the synonyms of some of the
keywords are: Precautionary measures – preventive
measures Observe – pay attention to Logged-in – signed-in.
You may type the following in the search box: Precautionary
measures OR preventive measures AND observe OR pay
attention to AND logged-in OR signed-in AND public computer

results:
