*Search Engines *Evaluating Information *Citing

Internet Search Tips

• USE A SEARCH ENGINE YOU KNOW• Don’t GUESS an ADDRESS!• Use KEY WORDS. Don’t Type SENTENCES!• Put phrases in quotes to “lock together”.• Read Summary of sites before clicking.• GOOGLE is our HOME Search Page.

• KNOW THE TYPES OF WEBSITES– .com = COMMERCIAL – someone is selling a product.– .org = ORGANIZATION – a nonprofit information site. – .gov = GOVERNMENT – site of state / local / federal agency– .edu = EDUCATIONAL – a college or university site.– .k12.oh.us = SCHOOL – a public k-12 school website.

Comparing Search Strategies

No search skills used …

Keyword skills used …

Keyword, Phrasing & Boolean skills used …

Google Search Features: Phrase search ("")

By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Google to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change. [ "Alexander Bell" ]

Search within a specific website (site:)Google allows you to specify that your search results must come from a given website.

For example, the query [ iraq site:nytimes.com ] will return pages about Iraq but only from nytimes.com.

Terms you want to exclude (-)Attaching a minus sign immediately before a word indicates that you do not

want pages that contain this word to appear in your results. For example [ jaguar -cars -football ].

Fill in the blanks (*)The *, or wildcard, is a little-known feature that can be very powerful. If you include * within a query, it tells Google to try to treat the star as a

placeholder for any unknown term(s) and then find the best matches. The query [ Voinovich voted * on the * bill ]

will give you stories about different votes on different bills. Note that the * operator works only on whole words, not parts of words.

Grammar of the Internet - Understanding a URLUnderstanding the URL or web address of a web page can sometimes provide you with important information about a web site. In this example we are using a web site that says the Holocaust never happened. Based on the URL shown below in blue how can we tell that this is the web site of an individual and not a Northwestern University web site?"
