28. TECHNIQUES IN SEARCHING
INFORMATION
1. Translation of search request into
search terms
• Search Request
What is the tallest mountain?
Search Terms
• Tallest mountain
33. B. Boolean Logic – placing the word AND,
OR and NOT to indicate the relationship
between the search terms
AND – to search page containing
both terms.
OR – to search page containing
either of the terms.
NOT – to restrict search on a particular
term.
34. Example
The search request is to search the
tallest mountain in Asia.
The search terms are as follows:
• tallest mountain
• Asia
35. The use of AND
“tallest mountain” AND Asia
Hands on
The search engine will provide a page
containing the TALLEST MOUNTAIN
IN ASIA.
36. The use of OR
tallest OR highest mountain
Hands on
The search engine will provide a page
containing either TALLEST MOUNTAIN or
HIGHEST MOUNTAIN to broaden the search.
37. The use of NOT
“tallest mountain” NOT Asia
Hands on
The search engine will provide a page
containing TALLEST MOUNTAIN not found
in Asia.
38. C. Pseudo – Boolean
Logic
involves “+” and “–” signs
“+” the engine will search pages
containing both terms.
“-” the engine will search pages not
containing the term.
39. The use of +
“tallest mountain” + Asia
Is the same with
“tallest mountain” AND Asia
40. The use of -
“tallest mountain” - Asia
Is the same with
“tallest mountain” NOT Asia
41. Things to consider in
