Web Searching
Searching the Web is not easy. There is a lot of junk out there, and it can be frustrating to sift through it all. I would imagine you have tried to use the search engines like Google, yahoo, Alta Vista or Lycos, and have run into the fact that its difficult to easily find the information you need

Phrase Searching
Phrase searching is the most powerful of the combination techniques, and you should always use it if possible. When you are creating your search terms, if there are words that usually go together in a phrase, you can indicate that by placing them in quotes (such as "PC-Compatible computer" or "Scott Nicholson").
Cyber Security Virus and the Internet 27

Boolean Logic
This is placing the words AND, OR, and NOT to indicate a relationship between the search terms for the web database. AND - By putting the word AND between two terms, you are telling the database "I want to find pages that have both of these terms. For example "buy" AND "PC "

Pseudo-Boolean Logic
Many of the search engines allow "natural language" searching, which involves two symbols, + and - for psuedo-boolean operations. If you include a - before a search term or phrase, it means that the term should NOT be in all sites that are returned. It's similar to the Boolean NOT. If you include a + before a search term or a phrase, it means that the term MUST be in all sites that are returned. It's very similar to a Boolean AND E.g +"Scott Nicholson"

Steps to using Search Engines

Specify and Simplify your search request. Break the request up into search facets. Develop synonyms for each facet. Create phrases when possible.

Steps to using contd

Link the synonyms for each facet together with OR, and link the facets together with AND. Go through at least 50 results before starting again. Use pages that are similar to the one you want for new synonyms and facets to add.
