Learning Outcomes

Practical Instruction I
Searching the Internet

Commonly Used Search Engines

Alta Vista - http://www.altavista.com

Excite - http://www.excite.com
HotBot - http://www.hotbot.com
Lycos - http://www.lycos.com
Web Crawler - http://www.webcrawler.com
Yahoo - http://www.yahoo.com

The Essentials of Google Search

1. Click on any existing Internet Explorer shortcut you have on the desktop

Or

Click on Start

From your Start Menu click on Programs

Select Internet Explorer.

4
4. On the address bar of your Internet explorer, type this address: http://www.google.com

5. The Google webpage will be displayed

5
6. Doing a search on Google is easy. Simply type one or more search terms (the words or
phrase that best describe the information you want to find) into the search box and hit
the 'Enter' key or click on the Google Search button.

Haw aii Google Search

In response, Google produces a results page: a list of web pages related to your search terms,
with the most relevant page appearing first, then the next, and so on.

Here are some basic tips to help you maximize the effectiveness of your search:

Choosing search terms

Choosing the right search terms is the key to finding the information you need.

Start with the obvious – if you're looking for general information on Hawaii, try Hawaii.
But it's often advisable to use multiple search terms; if you're planning a Hawaiian vacation,
you'll do better with vacation Hawaii than with either vacation or Hawaii by themselves.
And vacation Hawaii golf may produce even better (or, depending on your perspective,
worse) results.

vacation Haw aii golf Google Search

You might also ask yourself if your search terms are sufficiently specific. It's better to search
on luxury hotels Maui than on tropical island hotels. But choose your search terms
carefully; Google looks for the search terms you chose, so luxury hotels Maui will probably
deliver better results than really nice places to spend the night in Maui.

6
Capitalization

Google searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be
understood as lower case. For example, searches for george washington, George
Washington, and gEoRgE wAsHiNgToN will all return the same results.

Automatic "and" queries

By default, Google only returns pages that include all of your search terms. There is no need
to include "and" between terms. Keep in mind that the order in which the terms are typed will
affect the search results. To restrict a search further, just include more terms. For example, to
plan a vacation to Hawaii, simply type vacation hawaii.

vacation haw aii Google Search

Automatic exclusion of common words

Google ignores common words and characters such as "where" and "how", as well as certain
single digits and single letters, because they tend to slow down your search without
improving the results. Google will indicate if a common word has been excluded by
displaying details on the results page below the search box.
If a common word is essential to getting the results you want, you can include it by putting a
"+" sign in front of it. (Be sure to include a space before the "+" sign.)
Another method for doing this is conducting a phrase search, which simply means putting
quotation marks around two or more words. Common words in a phrase search (e.g., "where
are you") are included in the search.
For example, to search for Star Wars, Episode I, use:

Star Wars Episode +I Google Search

~ OR ~
"Star Wars Episode I" Google Search

Word variations (stemming)

Google now uses stemming technology. Thus, when appropriate, it will search not only for
your search terms, but also for words that are similar to some or all of those terms. If you
search for pet lemur dietary needs, Google will also search for pet lemur diet needs, and
other related variations of your terms. Any variants of your terms that were searched for will
be highlighted in the snippet of text accompanying each result.
Phrase searches

Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put
quotation marks around your search terms.

"the long and w inding road" Google Search

7
 Phrase searches are particularly effective if you're searching for proper names ("George
Washington"), lyrics ("the long and winding road"), or other famous phrases ("This was
their finest hour").

Negative terms

If your search term has more than one meaning (bass, for example, could refer to fishing or
music) you can focus your search by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to
the meaning you want to avoid.
For example, here's how you'd find pages about bass-heavy lakes, but not bass-heavy music:

bass -music Google Search

Note: when you include a negative term in your search, be sure to include a space before the
minus sign.
