Use your tools wisely

The words you type into searchboxes directly affect the search results. So, it's important to choose them wisely, and to change them (wisely) when they aren't working.

Search words affect search results mainly in two ways:

  • Overall target or subject.

  • Specific versus general. (Or, in other words, narrow versus broad)

Choosing and adjusting your words when you search will make a big difference in how effeciently you do research.
