Advanced search techniques

Computer information systems and entry level.

On Google I got 7,530,000 hits. Wow!  That's a lot of reading.

Using the same search engine - Google. I queried...

"Computer information systems" and entry level . This time 48, 500 hits. Still a lot of reading, but not nearly as bad as 7.5 million hits.

That shows you how a simple change in your search technique can greatly reduce the amount of unnecessary hits you will get.

Using a Boolean operator search with a logical expression, will give your search criteria more depth. Using AND,OR and NOT  can make a big difference for narrowing down the list of hits and refining your search objective. Use AND when you want to combine two or more keywords. Use Or when you want to find either one of the keywords in your search. Use NOT to exclude a particular part of the search results.

Suppose you want to find a particular word or phrase in a web site article. You can use the Find feature for the browser you are in. Press CTL+F and the find feature will appear in your browser toolbar. Then type in the text you wish to locate and it will highlight the text in the article.
