Directories and search engines are methods for finding information on the web. Directories organize web pages into a hierarchical structure on specific topics, classified by human editors. Search engines allow users to search large databases for pages matching search queries. There are general search engines covering many topics and specialized engines for particular topics like news or shopping. Metasearch engines send queries to multiple search engines at once. Effective search strategies include determining the best search engine based on interface, documentation, speed, database size, and relevancy scoring.
Google searching techniques
Google logs over 2 billion searches per day and is the world's largest search engine. The document discusses various search operators that can be used with Google to refine searches and get more specific results, such as using "-" to exclude keywords, "filetype" to search only certain filetypes, and "site" to search within a specific website. It also notes advantages of using search operators like eliminating unwanted results and getting more focused results faster, but their limitations as well, such as Google's 10 word search limit.
Search strategies – subject searching
Subject searching uses controlled subject terms and keywords to search databases in a more focused way. Subject terms allow consistent organization of articles regardless of keyword variations. Keywords are descriptive words for a topic found through research. The database suggests subject terms to aid discovery. An advanced search combines subject terms in the SU field with keywords joined by Boolean operators to narrow results about both the subject and keywords.
