Review of Strategic Searching

1. Use multiple, specific, descriptive keywords for narrower results. 

2. If at first you don’t succeed, try synonyms. 

3. Place quotation marks around specific words or specific phrases you’re looking for. 

4. Add a minus sign before a word to show that you don’t want that one included. 

5. Look for two words at once by placing OR between them. 

6. Search for and pay attention to URL domain types. 

7. Specify the format of the information you’re looking for. 

8. Use advanced search options on a search engine.

9. Once you have your search results, use them.
