Google Advanced Search
Advanced Google Search is a new way to search topics easier with very good accuracy. It is a great way to fine exactly what you are looking for when you type in a certain topic.
I have never used this type of search engine before so this was fairly new to me. I usually use the regular Google search when looking up things, but that just leads to problems. When you type in a topic in regular Google search you get hundreds and thousands of results and many of them lead to the wrong website.
Lets say you want to see who won the 2004 World Series. What you do is go to www.google.com and look for the “Advanced Search” button next to the regular search button. This will lead to another page where you can type in specific phrases or words that you are looking for. So what I would type in is “2004 World Series” in any of the areas where you can type except the “unwanted phrases.” From here you can click search and multiple pages show up. You will first find out that the Baltimore Orioles did not even come close to the World Series.
From this search I was able to come up with specific results and I was able to get the search narrowed down to less pages to look through. It was much easier when trying to find the exact words or phrases I was looking for when searching up how bad the Baltimore Orioles are and how great the Red Sox are.
The searches can be even more specific when you look up things you can look them up in certain languages such as French, Russian, and Chinese. There are other options that you can choose such as the reading level of the pages and the amount of results per page you can have.
In the end I believe that Google Advanced Search is a lot easier than the regular search. It was way easier when looking up specific details and stories and also held the search to less pages making it easier to not have to scroll through.
