Finding What You Need Online
You need to know how to access the information you need online as quickly and efficiently as possible. “Boolean” is one way to bolster your Internet wisdom. This silly word represents a very easy and powerful method of finding what you need on the Internet.
For example, merely adding quote marks (“…..”), or (+) and (-) signs in front of some of the words in a Google search will dramatically improve your search results, thereby providing access to many of the most valuable and pertinent online resources in seconds, and at no cost.

After you retrieve good quality search results, you should select the most relevant links to “drill down” on and then scan the results. If you read the domain/URL that comes up under each search result link before you click on it, there will be hints on the relevancy of the information and its source. Generally, longer URLs are more likely to link to “ad-centric” content than shorter URLs, which often have good quality content.
Review many potential information sources from the results of your Boolean Internet search; as a result, you will have a better chance at finding those most pertinent. Drill down on the most promising links to read, print out, bookmark, keep notes on, and upon which to generally focus.
