Be a better researcher! Soyez un meilleur rechercheur!

© 2004 K. Kerley

Many of you, parents included, use Google search engine on a daily basis.  Have you ever searched for something important or specific and ended up with thousands, and perhaps millions of search results that have little to do with what you're looking for? It's like trying to find the right piece of paper on the messy desk you see above!

Here's a tip:  Google has a search feature called "Advanced Search" which allows you to customize your search to get better and more accurate results.
Here is the link to Google Advanced Search: http://www.google.com/advanced_search

To learn how to use this very useful tool, you may want to do the activities on this website: Four NETS for Better Searching

I recommend that both parents and students complete this activity to make researching more efficient.  It will significantly reduce the time that you will need to find the website(s) you are looking for!

Happy searching!
