The Boolean search engine helps alot! I wish I knew to use this tool when I was doin my senior project paper last year. I thought that the search engine would be more complicated than it actually really was. Its not rocket science but it sure sounds fancy! Its reallygreat that it helps narrow out your search by using the words: AND, OR, NOT. I learned that the Boolean OR command is used to allow any of the specified search terms to be present on the web. The AND command is used to that all of the terms be present on the web pages. NOT command is mostly used so that a particular search term NOT be used in the web pages. You not only have to use the words but you can use the symbols also. Like +, " ", *.=====

Finding my topic on NC Wise Owl, was more difficult than I had expected. As I typed in my keywords and topic almost nothing to seemed to match what I was looking for. I thought that this website was extremaly confusing and difficult. It left me clueless. Maybe I just need to work with this website more often and become more fimilarized. This website only seems to work with broad words like NURSING, FOOD, EXERCISE, etc. Maybe these is why this website is not as popular and student do not use it as much?=====

I LOVE google! I think google is one of the best resources when it comes to searching for things. It has lots of helpful tools, not only does it give you facts and other useful imformation but it also gives you a online dictionary, thesaurus, images, videos and so much more. The web is changing, becoming more of a social environment where people are sharing things as they find them and there is plenty of development and encouragement of this type of web browsing. This is why is such a success! I think it grows more and more everyday! But on a bad note, google can be so overwelmed with all sorts of information that it can be difficult to quickly find what your're searching for.=====

If I had to summarize about which search enginge worked the best for me would be, it would be Google. Most of the time you'll find exactly what you're looking for with just a basic word or phrase you looked for. Ive learned that by using Google you need to just keep it simple. Don't just enter whole sentences. Also you should choose discriptive words to help narrow your search. The more unique the word is the more likely you are to get relevant results.=====
