Internet Searching

5 ways to improve a search:

1) Be specific
2) Don't put common worlds like 'and' or 'the' in your search because the search engine will ignore them.
3) Use quotes around words to search for the words together.
4) Put a plus symbol to make sure that the word is searched.
5) Put a minus symbol to make sure the word is NOT searched.

_It is important to search the internet properly because if you search it randomly, you will get very many results. Some of them might be spoof. If you remember the 5 ways to improve your search, you results will be less and it will be easier for you to find the correct information. For example, if you want to find the population of the polar bears in 2012 and you type in google seach like picture 1, you will have a lot of results. Picture 1 is not specific so there will be population of a lot of bears. If you type in google search like picture 2, your results will decrease and it is also more specific. You can see the difference between the things that I've underlined in picture 1 and 2.
