Today, in the library we used the Google search tools. I prefer Google as my searching tool. It is fast and reliable. The Google search tools helps you search with specifics. You can see whats been posted in the past 24 hours about a certain subject. It helps for those who want to lessen the results. The search tool gives different options and combinations to help our search.
We typed in “how do the democratic AND republican positions on fiscal cliff differ?” to see what results we would get. At first without using the search tools to lessen the results, I got about 65 million results in .54 seconds. When I used the search tool verbatim I got about 17 and a half thousand results in .12 seconds. To lessen the results I used the minus signs to cancel out certain things. I used the verbatim search tool and in the search bar I used –blogs –videos –images –books –past hour –personal –news which lessens the results to 10. The best search tool was the verbatim and it got me the least results.
