Hi there! Today we will learn how to search the internet like an expert researcher.
Finding information online starts with good keywords. Pick specific words that describe your main topic instead of typing a long question.
You can use special words called Boolean operators to control your search. Combining keywords with AND, OR, or NOT helps you find better results faster.
Limiters help narrow down your search results even more. You can filter by date, file type, or website domain like .edu or .gov.
✏️ Worked example
How can you search for facts about oceans without getting results about movies?
Identify the main topic keyword: oceans.
Identify the unwanted topic keyword: movies.
Use the NOT operator to remove unwanted results.
Type the final search query: oceans NOT movies.
