We’ll begin with SEARCHING…We’ll begin with SEARCHING…

And then move on to managing and using what you retrieve in your searches.

Tips from Google re GoogleTips from Google re Google

Phrase search ("")By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Google to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change. Google already uses the order and the fact that the words are together as a very strong signal and will stray from it only for a good reason, so quotes are usually unnecessary. By insisting on phrase search you might be missing good results accidentally. For example, a search for [ "Alexander Bell" ] (with quotes) will miss the pages that refer to Alexander G. Bell.Search within a specific website (site:)Google allows you to specify that your search results must come from a given website. For example, the query [ iraq site:nytimes.com ] will return pages about Iraq but only from nytimes.com. The simpler queries [ iraq nytimes.com ] or [ iraq New York Times ] will usually be just as good, though they might return results from other sites that mention the New York Times. You can also specify a whole class of sites, for example [ iraq site:.gov ] will return results only from a .gov domain and [ iraq site:.iq ] will return results only from Iraqi sites.Terms you want to exclude (-)Attaching a minus sign immediately before a word indicates that you do not want pages that contain this word to appear in your results. The minus sign should appear immediately before the word and should be preceded with a space. For example, in the query [ anti-virus software ], the minus sign is used as a hyphen and will not be interpreted as an exclusion symbol; whereas the query [ anti-virus -software ] will search for the words 'anti-virus' but exclude references to software. You can exclude as many words as you want by using the - sign in front of all of them, for example [ jaguar -cars -football -os ]. The - sign can be used to exclude more than just words. For example, place a hyphen before the 'site:' operator (without a space) to exclude a specific site from your search results.Fill in the blanks (*)The *, or wildcard, is a little-known feature that can be very powerful. If you include * within a query, it tells Google to try to treat the star as a placeholder for any unknown term(s) and then find the best matches. For example, the search [ Google * ] will give you results about many of Google's products (go to next page and next page -- we have many products). The query [ Obama voted * on the * bill ] will give you stories about different votes on different bills. Note that the * operator works only on whole words, not parts of words.The OR operatorGoogle's default behavior is to consider all the words in a search. If you want to specifically allow either one of several words, you can use the OR operator (note that you have to type 'OR' in ALL CAPS). For example, [ San Francisco Giants 2004 OR 2005 ] will give you results about either one of these years, whereas [ San Francisco Giants 2004 2005 ] (without the OR) will show pages that include both years on the same page. The symbol | can be substituted for OR. (The AND operator, by the way, is the default, so it is not needed.)Exceptions to 'Every word matters'Words that are commonly used, like 'the,' 'a,' and 'for,' are usually ignored (these are called stop words). But there are even exceptions to this exception. The search [ the who ] likely refers to the band; the query [ who ] probably refers to the World Health Organization -- Google will not ignore the word 'the' in the first query. Synonyms might replace some words in your original query. (Adding + before a word disables synonyms.) A particular word might not appear on a page in your results if there is sufficient other evidence that the page is relevant. The evidence might come from language analysis that Google has done or many other sources. For example, the query [ overhead view of the bellagio pool ] will give you nice overhead pictures from pages that do not include the word 'overhead.'Punctuation that is not ignoredPunctuation in popular terms that have particular meanings, like [ C++ ] or [ C# ] (both are names of programming languages), are not ignored.The dollar sign ($) is used to indicate prices. [ nikon 400 ] and [ nikon $400 ] will give different results.The hyphen - is sometimes used as a signal that the two words around it are very strongly connected. (Unless there is no space after the - and a space before it, in which case it is a negative sign.)The underscore symbol _ is not ignored when it connects two words, e.g. [ quick_sort ].

Google search basics: Google search basics: Basic search helpBasic search helpSearch is simple: just type whatever comes to mind in the search box…Sometime you'll find exactly what you were looking for with just a basic query. However the following tips can help you refine your technique to make the most of your searches…

Some basic facts Every word matters. Generally, all the words you put in the query will be

used Search is always case insensitive With some exceptions, punctuation is ignored

Guidelines for better search Keep it simple. Simple is good. Think how the page you are looking for will be written Use the words that are most likely to appear on the page Describe what you need with as few terms as possible Choose descriptive words

PubMed vs. OVID MedlinePubMed vs. OVID Medline

The National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database is available from many sources. The two primary ways to access MEDLINE at UA are PubMed and Ovid. Both are available on the AHSL Web under Databases.

Use PubMed•if you want to learn a MEDLINE interface that will be always available to you, even if you leave UA. •when you want quick results with strategies automatically created for you.•when you are looking for extremely recent citations. •if you are off-campus and having connection issues. •when you also want to search for genetics and molecular biology information

Use Ovid MEDLINE•to be guided through selections for a precise search based on Medical Subject Headings, subheadings, and limits. •to build a search strategy in steps and by trying multiple combinations

For a more extensive comparison of Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed, click here, a site posted by our colleagues at Dartmouth!
