Basic search skills
1. Search with logical words
Large search engines support the use of logical words for more complex search definitions, commonly used: AND (AND), OR (OR), NOT (no, AND some are and not) and NEAR (the closeness of the two words). Apply them appropriately to make the results very accurate. In addition, you can also use brackets to separate the search words.
2. Use double quotation marks for exact search
If you are looking for a phrase or multiple Chinese characters, the best way is to enclose them in double quotation marks, so that the results are the least accurate. For example, if you enter "Search engine" in the search (query) box of the search engine, this will produce fewer and better results than the Search engine.
If no result is found in the preceding method, remove the double quotation marks.
3. Use the plus or minus sign to limit search
Many search engines support the plus sign (+) before a search term to limit the words that must be included in the search result. The minus sign (-) is used to limit the words that cannot be included in the search result.
4. Targeted Selection of search engines
The results of queries with different search engines are often very different, because there are many differences in their design purpose and development trend, such as: Dejanews (http://www.dejanews.com) it is a search engine dedicated to USENET, while Liszt (http://www.liszt.com) is a search engine for mailing lists, IRC, and so on.
5. Query in detail
Many search engines provide the ability to refine and re-query the search results. For example, some search engines have buttons like "querying webpages" in the results, in addition, you can perform a new round of query on the obtained results.
