Researching

If you were to ask a bunch of university student were they look up to get information, majority of them would say GOOGLE. And since google is the most used research tool, there are many introduced research styles. Just a key word or a normal sentence wouldn't help, well it would but it surely more time consuming there would be a result of more than thousand searches.

A few styles and tips in reducing the amount of search results is as below :


  • .. ( The two dots are used to show a time range) 
  • - ( Exclusions )
  • ~ ( Wild card)
  • "......." ( The inverted comas are used to indicate a Important word or phrase)
Search Techniques
1. Key word search
2. Boolean operators 
3. Natural Language
4. Forms based on searches.

Similarly there are many more in the site given below.

No matter how long it takes, researching is important to produce a high quality outcome of work.
