Emma 102: Internet Search Engines and Academic Research

The Two Faces of Searching with Google

Google, like many search engines, has a default basic search and an advanced search. Google's basic interface can search the all the web (default), images, news groups, or Google's subject directory.

For advanced users, various operators can be entered directly in the search box to narrow the search; many users will prefer to go to the Advanced Search interface. Tips for better searching using Google can be found at www.google.com/help/refinesearch.html.
