[h=3]Introduction to Google
When you have a question, when you need information, when you want to find something

specific... you need the best tools in order to find what you're looking for. That's where Google comes in

Google is the go-to search engine for most people on the internet. It's so

popular, in fact, that it's changed the way many of us talk about searching for

information online. Have you ever heard someone use the word "google" as a

verb, for example


"I don't know the answer. Just google it!"

"Whoa! You won't believe what we found when we

googled your name."

"Relax... I'm googling the address right now."


There are many reasons why Google is so popular. For one, it's easy to use - even

for beginners. It's also moreeffective than the average search engine, making

it easier to find what you're looking for. In addition, Google is home to a wide

variety of features that can improve your search experience in surprising ways

[h=3]How to Search[h=3]
There are several different ways to conduct a Google search. If you're new

to Google, take a look at the options below. You'll want to keep

them in mind when we start exploring search strategies on the next page





[h=4]Option 1: Google.com
Go to Google's homepage at Google.com. From there, conducting a search is very

straightforward. Just type your search terms in the box, then click the Google Search button, or

press Enter on your keyboard

Conducting a search at Google.com


If your search results start loading before you finish typing, don't panic. By default, you may

have a feature calledGoogle Instant enabled. If you don't like the way Google

Instant works, you can disable it later by customizing your search settings

[h=4]Option 2: Your Browser's Search Bar[h=4]
Depending on your browser's default search engine, you may be able to conduct a

Google search right from the browser's interface. For example, in Chrome, you can

use the address bar. In Firefox (pictured below), you can use the

address bar, or the built-in search bar. Both of these options can be very

convenient if you remember to use them

Firefox address bar and built-in search bar


If the default search engine for your browser is something else

(for example, Yahoo! or Bing), you can easily change it to Google. To

find out how, visit Set Google as my search engine on Google's support

site. The steps are different for each browser, so make sure you follow the instructions for yours

[h=3]Understanding Your Search Results

​

[h=3]Other Google Products
Use this navigation bar to access other Google products and

services, like YouTube, Gmail, and Blogger. Alternatively, some of the options can

help you find different types of content, like Images or Maps. To view more

options, click More at the far end of the list


[h=3]Search Box
Use the search box to continue your investigation. Search for

different keywords to refine your search results, or try a

different topic all together. You don't have to go back to the Google homepage to search again


[h=3]Types of Content

Looking for something specific? Use this toolbar to navigate between

different types of content, like videos, news, recipes, and much more. Each

one will show you resources that are related to your search terms



​

[h=3]Tools & ******s

Use the Search tools menu to customize your results even more. Change your

location to get better local search results. ****** your results by time to find

content that was posted recently, or sometime longer ago.The features in this menu are dynamic. That means they change depending

on the type of content you're searching for, so you always have the most useful

tools at your disposal.

​

[h=3]Gear Icon

Click the gear icon to access several different features, including

Search Settings, Search Help, and more

Changing your search settings is a great way to customize your

experience with Google. For example, you could adjust the

SafeSearch ****** (which controls how much explicit content you see), or

change the number of search resultsthat appear per page

[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][h=3]Search Results

Was your search successful? The center of the page is where you'll find your

search results. These results can include webpages, images, and many


other types of content that have some relevance to what you're looking for


[h=3]Related Searches

In short, this part of the results page shows you what other people are


searching for when they use search terms that are similar to yours. If you need help


refining your search, this is a great place to look for ideas


[h=3]Page Navigation

Remember to scroll to the bottom to navigate to the next page of search

results. Google is so effective, you'll usually find what you're looking for within the first


few results; but sometimes you need to dig a little deeper

Exploring Types of Content
​

Web

Under Web, you'll find results from all the content types

(including images, maps, places, etc.), but mostly webpages that match your search terms

It may help to think of this option as asummary, plus a preview of what you

can find under some of the other content types

Images


Google Images lets you browse pictures that match your search terms. If you want

to see the full-sized version of an image (as well as the website it came

from), all you have to do is click the one you want

You can also click Search tools to ****** the results by subject, size, color, and more.

Maps


The results under Maps can be very useful, especially if you're searching for

something nearby. You can also use Google to get directions, plan a road-trip, or

look up points of interest around the world

In this example, Google has found quite a few local businesses that

offer boarding, training, and other services for dog owners

Shopping



Here, you'll find results for products that match your search terms. You can even

use the Search tools to ****** the results by price, brand name, and whether or not

the product is in stock nearby. This is a great resource for shopping online

when you don't know where to find what you're looking for

News



Visit News to view news articles that match your search terms. Most

of the results come from well-known websites like CNN.com, but can also come from other

sources (like blogs and local news providers


In this example, Google has found a wide variety of articles that

mention the word dog. If we were to search for something more

specific (such as westminster dog show), the results would be even more useful

[h=2]Advanced Search Strategies

Contrary to what you might think, advanced search strategies aren't just for advanced users. They're

for everyone, whether you have a lot of experience with Google, or just a little. The

only tool you need is Google's Advanced Search page. You can access it from

the results page by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner


If you've never seen the Advanced Search page, you may

be surprised by some of the things you can do. For

example, you can narrow your results by language

or reading level. You can also limit your search results

to pages that have a certain domain, such as .gov or .edu

Advanced Search Strategies

[h=3]Find pages with...
These options should look familiar if you've already reviewed our basic search strategies. Here,

you can refine your results using techniques like search for an exact phrase. You can

also search for pages that contain one of several relevant search terms; for

example, discount OR deal


You must enter at least one search term in this section in order to use the options below (under Then narrow your results by...).


[h=3]Then narrow your results by...

Use this section to narrow your results using much more specific criteria. Remember: You must

enter at least one search term in the section above in order to use these options


[h=3]Language

Are you a native English-speaker? What if you're helping a friend find information

in French? Use this option to search for web content that's written in another

language - from Afrikaans to Vietnamese, and everything in between.

[h=3]Region

Depending on what you're looking for, limiting your search to a specificregion can

lead to some interesting results. Take the American Revolutionary War, for

example. Compared to the U.S., do you think webpages in the United Kingdom

would have a slightly different perspective? Probably. Of course, you can also

use this feature to search for more general information from different regions

[h=3]Last Update

If the information you've found seems out of date, you may want to

narrow your results to pages that have been updated more recently. Your
options range from the past 24 hours to pages that have been updated within the past

year

[h=3]Site or Domain
Use this option to search a single website (for example, about.com), or a

certain type of website. You can do the latter by limiting your search results to

one domain. The domains are as follows

.edu - colleges, universities, and other school websites• .org - organizations• .gov - agencies of the U.S. government


​

[h=3]Terms Appearing

By default, Google searches for information that contains your search

termsanywhere in the page. If you want to limit your search to one part

of the page (for example, the page title), you can do that here


This may be useful for locating something very specific, like a

website you've been to before, but you can't remember the address

[h=3]SafeSearch

Google's SafeSearch ****** lets you control how much explicit sexual content you see.


Strict gives you the most protection, but may inadvertently ****** results

that you want to see. Moderateis a good compromise because it ******s

the most extreme results, but still gives you access to others

[h=3]Reading Level
The reading level option can be useful in some very interesting ways. Of course, you

can you use it to choose the reading level you're most comfortable with. But

you can also use it to manipulate your results to find certain types of information

Say you're searching for higher-level academic content. You're more likely

to find it if you set the reading level to show only advanced results

[h=3]File Type

Are you hoping to find a file that contains your search terms, rather than

a webpage? Here, you can search for PDFs, spreadsheets, Word documents, and other


common file types

[h=3]Usage Rights

In general, you're not allowed to copy & paste information that you find online, and

claim it as your own. However, there are some exceptions; for example, works in the

public domain, and content that's been licensed by the original author.


With the usage rights option, you can search for this type of content.

[h=3]Still Can't Find What You're Looking For?

Sometimes it's not enough to know all the basic and advanced search strategies. If you

still can't find what you're looking for, you may need to try different search terms... and this

time, really use your critical thinking skills. Let's take a look at some examples

[h=4]Example 1
Say you're looking for a place where you could adopt a dog. What words do you think OTHER

people would use to describe that? Maybe shelter? Or rescue? You could even search

for an adoption center by name (for example,humane society


The truth is, shelter and rescue are pretty commonplace terms - both in

popular culture, and among people in the pet adoption community. That means

they're more likely to appear on a webpage than place to adopt a dog. Notice

how that sounds slightly less "official"?

In conclusion, if you know the popular term for the information you're looking for, search

for that instead. If youdon't know the popular term, look closely at your original search

results to see what you can find. If you notice any keywords that appear more frequently than

others, that might be a clue

Searching for an animal shelter




[h=4]Example 2
In certain parts of the country, fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year. If you're a

"leaf peeper" (someone who's willing to travel in order to view or photograph fall foliage), you need

to know when the leaves are going to be at their most colorful


Of course, you could search for fall foliage forecast. But that may not produce

the most comprehensive results. That's because there are so many other words you

could use to describe what you're looking for. For example



Instead of fall, search for autumn

Instead of foliage, search for leaves or color

Instead of forecast, search for predictions, calendar, or peak

(shorthand for when the colors are going to be at their most vibrant)

In short, try a few synonyms if your original search terms were

unsuccessful. You may need to experiment with different

combinations, and then compare the results to figure out which

keywords work the best. You can also useadvanced search

strategies to search for multiple terms (for example, fall OR autumn

Again, if you don't know any synonyms, look at your original

results. Review some of the language they use, and see if they give you any ideas

​

[h=4]Ways to Customize
If you really like Google, there are several things you can do to make your experience more

personal. For example, you could sign up for a Google account, which gives you access to

even more Google services. For more information, review the resources below



Set your location. The location you have "on file" with Google (in other words, your city, state, and

zip code) will help them find search results that are more relevant to where you live. Google is

pretty good at auto-detecting your location every time you perform a search; however, if

that fails, you can set your location yourself. For more information about this feature, visit

Google's Location page


Make Google your homepage. Your homepage is the first thing

you see when you open your browser (or when you click your browser's Home button). If

you want, you can make Google your homepage - a great option if you find yourself

visiting the site throughout the day. To find out how, visit Google's Make Google my homepage


Create a Google account. Signing up for your own Google account is completely

optional. But it's something you should consider if you're interested in any of the

other services Google has to offer - aside from their search engine, that is. For example, did

you know Gmail, YouTube, and Blogger are all part of Google accounts? If you sign up, you

can even customize your Google homepage. For an in-depth look, check out ourGoogle Accounts Tutorial
