How can foreign phrases be more efficiently searched?
This week’s Alta Vista Tip Don’t Sweat the Grammar in Foreign-language Searches If you are performing a search in another language, don’t worry about getting the prepositions or connective words exact. For example, in a search using the French terms techniques de entrevue, you can search using the preposition de, you can elide it grammatically with the next word as d’entrevue, or you can leave de out altogether. It won’t make an appreciable effect on your search since AltaVista Search ranks your hits according to the words with meaning, techniques and entrevue.
