Advanced Google search screen
I was doing a paper on the problems of performance enhancing drugs in sports. The rubric for this paper stated that I needed to have at least one credible internet source. So with that said, I had to find a website, but not just any website. The majority of websites out there are just decent when needed for research. There are a lot of websites that look really legit and real but in reality they are fake as a three dollar bill. I needed a website that was reliable. I searched “performance enhancing drugs” in basic search in Google. That was an obvious mistake. Google, of course, comes from the numerical word googol, meaning a lot! So I had thousands of websites to choose from. Probably a very small percentage of those websites were useful to me and an even smaller percentage where useful to my paper. I started to use the truncation symbols to further narrow my search. Looking for information on performance enhancing drugs, I decided to use the organization domain or “.org” as you may know it. Using the site:org feature in advanced Google searching limits all domains to organization. There are multiple ways you can locate the “advanced” feature in the Google search engine. I simple typed in “advanced Google search” on the Google homepage search box. After typing advanced Google search in the box, it will take you directly to the advanced search page. In the end, this is what it looked like before I pressed search; “’Performance enhancing drugs’ site:org”.
Very good, Derrance!
ReplyDeleteJust fix the oggle in "Google, of course, comes from the numerical word oogle, meaning a lot!"-- it should be googol. (Googol is the number 1 with a hundred zeros after it.)
Also make the "Is" lowercase in your last sentence: "In the end, this Is what it looked like before I pressed search..."
I really like your humor in this post, too... "three dollar bill"--ha!
Just fix those two things and you'll be done for this post. Excellent work!
Great post! 25/25
