Search Strategies Basic

ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATULAH WABARAKATUH

I hope my readers are fine and enjoyable with crucial time of life.

          In this post’s lesson, there is a brief talk on search strategies. This is another topic that we learned. I proudly dare to say that I attended this lecture with a full effort. This helps me to find out the important of the content. There are three major strategies force under my understanding. In order to expend my knowledge, I would like to share about those strategies.

Firstly, Boolean operator is a basic way of searching information. It is simple word used as conjunctions to combine or exclude keywords in a search. It gives productive results if we use the right way and word. It consists of AND, OR and NOT. This would save time and effort in finding the desirable content. For example, a search on stock market AND trading, this may include results like stock market trading or trading on the stock market and so on.

Truncation is another good strategy. It broadens our search capabilities. It allows us to retrieve multiple spellings of a root word, such as singular and plural forms. Truncation expands the search to locate all words beginning with the same root. For instance, teen* will give result as teen, teens, teenage, teenager and so forth.

          Lastly, a wildcard is symbol strategy. It has a special character, such as an asterisk (*), question mark (?), or pound sign (#). A wildcard is used in the middle of a word to match content. It usually describes a single character, like the word of wom?n. this will return woman, women, and womyn.

          With these three major strategies, they really assist me in finding information. I use less time and get a desirable content too. I recommend to all my readers to keep these in mind, because you are the one who has been surfing internet in finding content. I can guarantee that these will help you a lot.

Hope you enjoy my writing.
