Search - Get Results

The following are examples of search techniques that I have found effective for getting results.
These search techniques are used with Google search engine, however other sites may be involved as well.

1. Use the http://del.icio.us bookmarking site add on in firefox browser to keep the best bookmarks you have found for your project.

2. Use the "related" command in Google i.e. related:http://www.website as well as the "similiar pages" command found at the end of your found search string results.

3. Use the "timeline" and "info" command in the Google search engine. i.e. view:timeline yoursearchterm or view:info yoursearchterm or view:map yoursearchterm.

4. Install the "right directional mouse" program (a download program for "Internet Explorer Browser or an add on for other browsers like "Firefox") into the browser and use the "Intelways" search engine. (the default search engine is Google). If you use the"Intelways" search engine, be aware that it does not (in the search bar at the top of the page) give you the address of the site you click on. You may need this to save as a bookmark (del.icio.us) or to return to the site you have found. One way to get around this is hold the "shift" key down as you click on the Internet link, and the site will open into another window. Copy the Internet address and close this new window by using the mouse. Hold the right mouse down, and draw the mouse down and to the right to close your new window, and you will be back to "Intelways" search engine. The wh0le purpose of this is to get the Internet address and speed. This may seem like a lot, but in the long run it will give you a faster way to search the Internet

5. Try some unknown search engines to get results from a different perspective.

6. Use the Google "*" sign to find something like a fact an example of htis is "there are * planets in our solar system". Place this into the Google search box and the answer will appear in the search results. ( This is a great way for students to find answers to their homework.)
