T HESE CAN BE USED DIRECTLY IN THE SEARCH BOX AND GIVE THE SEARCHER INCREDIBLE CONTROL OVER THE SEARCH PROCESS O PERATORS AND LIMITERS

And, Not and Or Google Can Help Better Your Search Boolean Operators NOT

Boolean Operators jazz OR blues This search finds articles that discuss either jazz or blues. OR always broadens a search. jazz AND blues This search finds articles that examines jazz and blues. AND always narrows a search. jazz NOT blues This search finds articles that are exclusively about jazz. NOT always excludes records with the specified term.

What Boolean Operators Do Return to Table of Contents

-NOT

Precede each term you do not want to appear in any result with a “–” sign. To find pages without a particular term, put a – sign operator in front of the word in the query. Do not put a space between the – and the word. TRY THESE USE: Beirut -Ohio NOT: Beirut - Ohio Pearl Harbor -film Return to Table of Contents

“ WORD ” E XACT WORD OR P HRASE

Why advance search features are important. Using quotes to indicate exact phrases ensures your search returns the results you want. Without quotes, Google assumes AND but will find the terms anywhere in the document. Return to Table of Contents

~ SYNONYMS

Synonyms Find synonyms by preceding the term with a ~, which is known as the tilde or synonym operator. The tilde (~) operator takes the word immediately following it and searches both for that specific word and for the word’s synonyms. It also searches for the term with alternative endings. The tilde operator works best when applied to general terms and terms with many synonyms. As with the – operator, put the ~ (tilde) next to the word, with no spaces between the ~ and its associated word, TRY THESE o “Cold war” ~films o “Cell respiration” ~quizzes ● If you don’t like the synonyms that Google suggests when you use the ~ operator, specify your own synonyms with the OR operator described earlier in the presentation. Return to Table of Contents

* W ILDCARD

USE *, AN ASTERISK CHARACTER, KNOWN AS A WILDCARD, TO MATCH ONE OR MORE WORDS IN A PHRASE (ENCLOSED IN QUOTES). PHRASE TRY THESE "John * Kennedy" "to * or not to *" "Type * diabetes" Return to Table of Contents

Limiters: Last Updated, Language and Region Last Updated can be accessed from the search tools below the search box. It is best to use Advanced Search to limit by language and region. It is possible to limit by region using site: to indicate a country. TRY THESE –“search term” site:fr or site:uk – "Cold War" site:nz –~research "Cyber*bullying" site:ca filetype:pdf
