There are many uses for a search engine. Some examples of search engines are google, yahoo, bing, and there are a lot of others. For this essay I used google as my search engine to complete this assignment. There are many ways to search something on the internet sometime you have to find the specific way that best works for you.
The question that I put in the search engine was, "how do the democratic and republican postions on the "fiscal cliff" differ?" Sometimes there is better questions as examples like for example one would be were there are two options such as if I were to ask, " what's better cats or dog?". When you phrase this question you could capitalize the words or , and . I found this method is not that good by itself.
Some other ways is adding quotation marks to your search. Adding the quotations will narrow it down a lot but you will still get a lot. But you may still get a lot more results becaus google tries to guess things for you and that is just a waste of time. You could also put in minuse sighns and put some words in parenthasese. Your best bet is to do everyone of these things and it will narrow down your search to very little and you will find exactly what you want.
So a combination of quotes and minus sines and capitalizing or and are the best option because i found exactly what i was looking for. This narrowed my results down until i found what I wanted. A lot of good results with this combination. But there are some other options that can help you when searching but thats up to you, and those are the things that I use when I am reaserching from a search engine.
