Tips to Survive Searching "Searching the Internet
is easy, finding what you're looking can be difficult"
Get to know a few of your
favorite search engines and become familiar with their advanced
searching techniques. (i.e. when to use quotation marks and when
to use parenthesis) There are some subtle differences in how
various search engines prefer you to use symbols and Boolean
operators.
To find out how a search engine prefers
you to use symbols and Boolean operators look around the search
box (where you enter your topic to be searched) for words like:
"hints, tips, help, or refine"

and Boolean operators:
