I never knew a topic/word search could be so intricate; all this time I have just been blindly putting in words into the search databases regardless if it was Google or Ebsco.  Badke describes a searcher conducting a broad search and coming up with 4,386 results this searcher ended up sifting through those results to try to find what he was looking for; all I could think of is “That’s me”!  I mean I don’t look through 4,000 results but I have looked through at least 100s of different results until I found what I needed.  After reading chapter 3 of Badke I plan to start using, ‘and’, truncation, nesting and ‘or’; all of which I have never used deliberately while conducting a search.  I have now seen the error in my ways and I plan to turn over a new leaf and to start searching the right way.
