The hardest part of using a search engine is finding the proper keywords to use. With the techniques discussed in the previous pages we can take keywords and incorporate them into properly constructed search statements. Arranging your keywords into well thought out search statements will allow you to make more efficient use of search engines. Not only are you likely to get shorter results lists, but the results that you get should be more relevant to your needs. Take a look at some of the examples below and try them out in a few search engines. Topic: Telecommunications Possible search statements: "Telecommunications Act of 1996" +wireless +networking +standards fiber optics and installation Topic: Literature Possible search statements: Shakespeare and (Hamlet Lear) Charles Dickens and "A Tale of Two Cities" romant* and American Literature Topic: Medicine Possible search statements: +juvenile -type II +diabetes "toxic waste" and cancer +vitamins +"health promotion"
