HOW TO BE A SAFE AND SMART SEARCHER

SEVERAL KEYWORDS WILL HELP TO FIND BETTER RESULTS. Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search. If you want to find out about seagulls, for example, search for bird and not just ‘seagull’-because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.

EXACT REFERENCES CAN HELP YOU FIND WHAT YOU`RE LOOKING FOR. If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence, e.g. “seagulls are very clever” , type it between inverted commas (“”) and only exact matches will be shown. This is useful when you want to find something you`ve already seen but lost.

AVOID COMMON WORDS like ‘a’ or ‘the’ in a search. These aren`t always helpful and are usually unnecessary.

REMOVE UNWANTED RESULTS by adding a minus symbol (-). For example, seagull-hotel-film would leave out all references to hotels and films.

CHECK YOUR SPELLING. Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results- especially when the mistyped word exists.

RELIABILITY IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU ARE SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET. Always ask yourself, ‘Is this reliable?’ don`t make the mistake of believing everything you see. Some websites are unreliable, and some information is false. Check your information on other

websites before accepting it.
