= Search Fundamentals
|
|
|
|
== Understanding Search Engines
|
|
|
|
- Search Engines need to process large amounts of information
|
|
- *Crawling*: Navigating the web to find pages and add them to the search engine's index
|
|
#pause
|
|
- *Indexing*: Creating an index of the content they find on the web
|
|
#pause
|
|
- *Ranking*: Filtering and ordering of the indexed web pages to return the best result for the searcher's query
|
|
|
|
== Basic Search Techniques
|
|
|
|
- Start with specific terms related to your research topic
|
|
- Consider variations of the keywords, e.g. synonyms and related concepts
|
|
#pause
|
|
- *Example*: Research paper on Covid-19 -- what are some fitting keywords?
|
|
#pause
|
|
- Pandemic#pause, vaccination#pause, quarantine#pause, airborne disease
|
|
|
|
= Enhancing Searches with Flags and Symbols
|
|
|
|
== Common Search Flags
|
|
|
|
- Quotation Marks (#raw("\" \""))
|
|
- Search for exact phrases
|
|
- Search engine looks only for the exact sequence of characters/words
|
|
- *Example*: #raw("\"covid-19 vaccination\"") returns results containing that exact phrase
|
|
#pause
|
|
- Plus Sign (#raw("+"))
|
|
- Includes specific terms in the search
|
|
- Useful when certain keywords should appear in the results
|
|
- *Example*: #raw("covid +vaccination +impact") ensures that the terms #raw("vaccination") and #raw("impact") are included
|
|
|
|
#pagebreak()
|
|
|
|
- Minus Sign (#raw("-"))
|
|
- Excludes specific terms in the search
|
|
- Helps to filter irrelevant information
|
|
- *Example*: #raw("covid statistics -pinterest") ensures that the term #raw("pinterest") is not included in the search results
|
|
|
|
== Advanced Search Techniques
|
|
|
|
- Use *boolean operators* to further refine your query
|
|
#pause
|
|
- AND narrows search by combining terms
|
|
- *Example*: #raw("covid AND vaccination") returns results containing both terms (in some way)
|
|
#pause
|
|
- OR broadens search to include either item
|
|
- *Example*: #raw("covid OR influenza") returns results containing either #raw("covid") or #raw("influenza")
|
|
#pause
|
|
- NOT: excludes terms from the search
|
|
|
|
== Grouping Terms
|
|
|
|
- Combine multiple search terms with parentheses
|
|
- Useful for complex queries
|
|
- *Example*: #raw("(covid OR influenza) AND (vaccine OR \"R value\")")
|
|
#pause
|
|
- What do we search for here?
|
|
|
|
== Site-Specific Searches
|
|
|
|
- Limit searches to a specific website or domain
|
|
- Useful for academic resources
|
|
- *Example*: #raw("site:.edu covid") returns results from educational institutions
|
|
|
|
= Quiz
|
|
|
|
- Find a suiting search query for the following questions:
|
|
#pause
|
|
- What academic insights might you find on mastering the art of couch potato-ing?
|
|
#pause
|
|
- #raw("side:.edu \"How to become a professional couch potato\"")
|
|
#pause
|
|
- What bizarre stories involve aliens or Bigfoot ordering pizza or tacos?
|
|
#pause
|
|
- #raw("(\"alien abduction\" OR \"bigfoot sighting\") AND (pizza OR tacos)")
|
|
#pause
|
|
- Is there any governmental advise on how to negotiate with a squirrel?
|
|
#pause
|
|
- #raw("site:.gov \"how to negotiate with a squirrel\"")
|
