( type key words in the frame and click on
"search" )
Finding what you want on the Internet can be like trying to find a book in a library with all the catalog cards on the floor or looking for a needle in a haystack. You know it is there, but how can you find it? Thousands of web pages are created each day! Search Engines permit you to perform keyword searches. There are numerous search engines and they are not alike.
Boolean Search Techniques:
1. OR increases the range of your results. So a search for
school OR academy OR dayschool would give you a lot of
educational institutions to choose from.
2. AND uses a second word to further define the first (school AND
elementary, for example, would exclude Grace Christian High School because it is not an
elementary school).
3. NOT excludes a subset of the group that the first word defines.
school NOT Oregon would exclude all schools in Oregon.
