8. Discuss the different search strategies.

Simple Searching The easiest method of using a search tool is simply to type one or more key words in the search box and click on the search button. The search tool will return a list of hits relating to the

keywords you entered. As you scroll through the list you will notice that some appear better than others.

Complex Searching To improve your searching efficiency, you should use Boolean Logic. Using the owrds and, or, and not will help refine your search.

Alternative Methods to Use Boolean Logic + may be substituted for AND. - may be substituted for NOT. It is a good idea to put + (plus sign) in front of any word you want to require and a - (minus sign) in front of any word you want to

Phrase Searching When you are searching for a phrase, you should enclose it in quotation marks. The quotation marks tell the search tool that the words enclosed in quotes must be exactly as they were typed,

and in the same order. Most search engines recognize this protocol.

Natural Language Searching More and more search tools are allowing a form of searching called natural language. This means that you can type a sentence or question exactly as you would ask it. The search tool will

try to determine key words from your sentence or question and locate pages based on these words. Many that allow natural language require you to specify that you want to use natural

language searching. Look carefully at the search form to see if you must choose natural language

Default Boolean Logic If you merely type key words into a search form as in a simple search, you must understand which of the Boolean operators is used as the default. Many search tools use OR as the default. If

you type in two or more words, the tool assumes you mean OR. Only a few tools use AND as the default. This could radically affect your search!!
