SEARCH
TECHNIQUES
The simplest keyword search will retrieve the greatest number of
results--often not what you want. A more complex search will retrieve
fewer results, but each one is more likely to be what you are looking
for. Note that many of these techniques are used in all the search
programs you will encounter on the Web.
SINGLE
KEYWORD SEARCH
For example, Drama. This is the simplest kind of search and
is likely to return hundreds or thousands of entries.
MULTIPLE
KEYWORD SEARCH
For example, Internet and training or training or courses.
Use the modifiers AND and OR to link keywords together into a single
search. Keywords linked by AND will return all entries that contain
BOTH of the keywords. Keywords linked by OR will return all entries
that contain EITHER of them.
PHRASE
SEARCH
For example, "Electrical Engineering". Place multiple
words inside quotation marks to get results that contain that exact
phrase. |
