Search
Engines (http://library.weber.edu/ref/guides/howto/searchengines.asp)
Search engines use software called spiders that search the Internet
for new web sites. Sometimes all of the words in the web page
are indexed, sometimes just the heading or title is indexed.
Use the help screens for more relevant, focused searching results
Search
Tips:
Phrase Searching: "environmental
health"
Combining concepts using the Advanced Search screens:
"All of the
words" is the Boolean AND (can also use the + symbol)
"Any of the
words" or with "At least one of the words"
is the Boolean OR
"Without the
words" is the Boolean NOT (can also use the - symbol)
Truncation (depends on the search engine):
pollut+ (pollute, polluting, pollution)
