In addition to this search engine, you can also use the Google Search Engine on each of the pages. The advantage here is we get feedback from this search group we do not receive from the Google search process. This helps us follow up on things people are seeking, that have not already been included.
The Search Engine Assistance page provides a range of advice, including links to further advice for all user levels on how to make your web search more effective
The Other Search Engines and Specialist Search Engines pages provide access to a wide range of search engines covering basic and specialised searches. Consider some of these when wanting to find information.
The general advice provided below is only a starter for the more extensive information on the Search Engine Assistance page.
Advice for More Effective Searching
Remember - this is an education oriented site.
While there is some other information,
looking for completely non-educational information, people, resources, images, … , is going to be less than successful.
Know what you are looking for.
Just entering any general word, or even a person’s
first name - Yes, It Really Happens !, for a given topic will only waste your time.
‘Search Engine Assistance’
The Search
Engine Assistance page has advice on narrowing searches to more precisely target topics, as well as other advice.
If it is not spelt correctly, you will not find it.
You might find something else [?],
but it probably won’t be what you want. It is amazing how often people misspell, even common everyday words, when entering keywords.
This includes the use of capital letters, where appropriate.
If you are not successful the first time, …
Try again. Request a larger or related area and see if this
helps. For example, if you enter Aboriginal stories and it is not successful, try one of the following - Aborigines, Stories,
Dreamtime, Aboriginal Culture, Indigenous stories, Australian Stories, … . They may help find what you want.
Don’t give up hope for the future !
