5 tips for better web searching in less time

Most of us use search engines every day, but few know how to make the most

of those searches. Given the enormous amount of information on the Internet,

almost any search you do will yield thousands, or even millions of results. But

if they aren’t the right results, they don’t do you any good. And who has

time to spend trawling through loads of “sort of useful†information?

 

Fortunately, there are a few tricks to help you better focus your searches

− so you get the information you need in less time. Here are five “search

engine best practices†to try next time you need to search.

 

1. Use quotes to find a specific phrase

In order to find an entire phrase in a search, enter quotation marks (“

â€) around the terms. For example, the search query butter apples

orangewillyield results containing any mention of those words, whereas “butter

apples orange†returns only results where those words appear together and in

that order in either the title, the URL of the website or the keywords in the

document.

 

2. Use + or – for more targeted word searches

Adding the plus sign (+) or the wordAND before a word will require that it

be found in all of the search results. Conversely, the minus sign (-) before a

word, or the word NOT, requires that it not be found in the search results.

 

3. Describe what you need with as few terms as possible

Generally, the more words you use in a search query, the more results

you’ll get. But that doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily get more useful

results. So starting with fewer words helps you keep your searches focused. And

even if you don't find what you need, the results will likely give you a good

idea of what additional words are needed to refine your results on the next

search.

 

4. Use search engine advanced search options

Many search engines give you the option to do an Advanced Search. You can

filter results by date, language or other criteria. Advanced searching also

makes the process of searching for specific words (as described above) fast and

easy. You can even do site-specific searches.

 

5. Skip searching and sign up for alerts

If you find yourself frequently searching the same terms to find new

information, you can save time by signing up for alerts. For example, if you

frequently search for news of your favourite sports team, Google Alerts will

send you daily, weekly, or “as it happens†e-mail updates. Another option:

Microsoft’s new search engine, Bing, offers RSS feeds for its web search

results that you can to inside any feed reader. Just add

“ & format=rss†(without the quotes) to any Bing search URL to convert it into

a feed.

 

In addition to these tips, it’s a good idea to explore the features and

functionality of different search engines to see which one is right for your

needs and fits your preferences. Apart from the well-known Google, there’s

Bing, Ask, and Dogpile, just to name a few. Happy searching!
