DEAR DUMB DIARY

We were taught Boolean operators, which widens or restricts on our search by using simple keys like "N/2" and "OR". For example, typing "mass N/2 media", would lessen your search by picking out only results with the 2 words near each other like mass media or media mass.
Whereas, replacing the word "OR' in between those 2 words would widen the search results.
Typing "AND" in between words, such as mass AND media would allow the search engine to give results that has only those two words. I've also learnt that adding an "*" or "?" behind a word. For example, typing abuse* in a search engine would give results including abused or abuses. Meaning, it would create a bigger amount of results.
One new search engine I've learnt that I would definitely use in future is MetaCrawler. It takes the best results out of the normal search engines such as Yahoo, Google and MSN, meaning more variety of internet resources for me.
