SEARCHING
Internet Searching
Search Engines
6
WHAT ARE SEARCH ENGINES?
Large databases
Full text of web pages
 Use keywords matching words in pages you want
Built by computer robot programs
 No selectivity, no evaluation for reliability
Each is different - Minimal standardization
 All accept “quotes” to search as phrase
 Good ones assume AND between words
7
HOW DO YOU MEASURE A SEARCH ENGINE’S
VALUE?
Size, freshness & unique pages
How comprehensive are they?
Ranking of results
What order are results displayed in?
Default search mode effectiveness
Intuitive and easy to use?
Advanced search options
Can you perform complex searches
Can you limit by date, type of site, etc?
Overall convenience and usefulness
Do you get junk or good stuff?
8
HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS FROM SEARCH
ENGINES
Match words in pages - FULL TEXT
Be as specific as you can
 search on distinctive words - fallujah
 put “phrases in quotes” “affordable care act”
 scan your question for good search terms
Start with one or two words or phrases
 add as needed to focus results
9
BOOLEAN SEARCHING
Search Engine
Commands
Means What?
AND (+) Must include all terms
NOT (-) Must exclude term/s
“[topic
phrase]”
In quotes - must
include exact phrase
OR Match any terms

retrieve combined results.

_engines_for_beginners.htm
12
GET A SECOND OPINION
Statistics say no search engine has it all
Only about 60% of pages in Google are also in other
search engines
Only 50% of pages in any search engine database
are also found in all others
Use more than one search engine
