Presentation transcript:

Researching on the Internet using the 5 symbols 2012 Internet Unit

Use the plus (+) and minus (-) signs in front of words to force their inclusion and/or exclusion in searches. EXAMPLE: +meat-potatoes (NO space between the sign and the keyword) IF you are searching for something about meat, but want to take out everything about potatoes.

phrases Use double quotation marks (" ") around phrases to ensure they are searched exactly as is, with the words side by side in the same order. EXAMPLE: "bye bye miss american pie" (Do NOT put quotation marks around a single word, then it will search for the word only with qoutes.) With no quotes, google will search for each word individually.

Plus and Minus Combine phrases with keywords, using the double quotes and the plus (+) and/or minus (-) signs. EXAMPLE: +cowboys +"wild west" - football -dallas (In this case, if you use a keyword with a +sign, you must put the +sign in front of the phrase as well. When searching for a phrase alone, the +sign is not necessary.)

keywords Put your most important keywords first in the string. EXAMPLE: dog breed family pet choose

ASSIGNMENT: Assume you are about to start looking for work and need to write a cover letter. What search string would you use? Go to Google and select a few of the following strings to search:Google "cover letter" "job search" "cover letter" +resume "cover letter" +template +form "cover letter" +example "cover letter" +sample "helpful tips" Scan the results page for each search you conduct and see if you can tell which searches seem to be the most productive and why.
