Searching the Internet is painful and hard. How do I do it better and faster?
Searching the Internet is not really as painful as you may think. The problem isn’t so much your ability to search as it is the lack of information on the Internet that you may be searching for, combined with the issue of terminology. If you use a general term, like “bird”, you will get millions of results. If you use a more specific search term, like “anhinga”, a type of bird, you will get fewer results. It’s a word game to find the correct word or phrase to find what you want. We explore more about making searching on the Internet easier in our class notes on Searching the Internet.
