The Art of Searching the Internet Christy Gavin Spring, 2009

Types of searches: Simple keyword Boolean Field

Simple Keyword Searching

Keyword Keyphrase (longtail)

Successful searchers: 1. identify the important keywords (concepts). 2. determine the most specific keywords (concepts).

Identifying the important keywords (concepts) involves separating important keywords from unimportant (fluff) words.

How does birth order affect personality?

These websites were overlooked by the search.

This search will retrieve other relevant sites when the fluff word “affect” is dropped.

Deep Web Search Engine

Identify the important keywords (concepts)... separate the important words from the fluff words 2. determine the most specific keywords (concepts).

Determine which keywords are the most specific keywords (concepts). How does birth order affect personality? How does birth order affect aggressive behavior?

Which is the most specific? What is the history of graphic novels? What is the history of manga literature?

Successful searching begins with: 1. Identify the important keywords (concepts) 2. Determine the most specific keywords

Use simple keyword queries when searching for: distinct individual: oprah winfrey organization: recording industry association of america quote: to be or not to be

Enter keywords in priority order. Google weights the importance of your keywords in order of appearance.

To keep multiple words together use double quotes: “society to prevent cruelty to animals international" “artificial intelligence" "to be or not to be"

The ASPCA is the American Society for the Prevention and Cruelty to Animals The SPCA is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals International

Stopwords a, the, of, for, how, who...

Search engines ignore common or overused words and single characters Keyword phrase: The way to the school is hard when walking in the rain. Stored keyword phrase: * way * * school is hard when walking * * rain.

To include stop words in your search you can either use: 1. double quotes: The way to the school is long and hard when walking in the rain before each stop word: +the +who

Types of searches: simple keyword, Boolean, and field 3 types of keyword searches: keyword, keyphrase, keyphrase (longtail) Limited use of keyword searching Individuals, organizations, quotes Enter keywords in priority order Stopwords Summary
