Homework _11 advance search strategies

Posted on November 6, 2012 by | Leave a comment

I only used google scholar once, I was starting to look for related articles about my proposed topic. I did have trouble because I found articles that were not really giving me the information related to my topic. In Mondays class I was able to understand how to use google scholar and its settings, and now I have practice by searching again related articles. I did find a couple and very interesting articles which I have posted it in easybib. This would help me get back to the articles I have found making it easier instead of just going back to the website to find the articles again. The articles are somewhat different because the last articles I found are up to date then the other articles I have found before. Which makes it interesting because my topic relates to social networking and it is what is being used the most and changing frequently.

Reading the article “How a Search Engine works” was really useful and the way the search engine would find that specific information you want. The search engine is very technical and the way the writer explain it was not what i thought it was going to be . To see that there so many concepts of is really amazing and to understand it would take a huge amount of time to get how it works. There tips of getting better results if you want to be specific, and some of the tips that I never consider like using ” not ” in finding more sources and eliminate the ones that are not useful .

Homework #9 – Charles Baculima-Castillo

Posted on October 15, 2012 by | 3 comments

The first reaction I had when I read Liddy’s article about search engines was that I was mind blown. I had an idea that how a search engine works would be complicated but I had no idea that there were so many steps revolving around this process. One aspect that I greatly wanted to touch on was the “stop words”. Stop words is a step that pretty much eliminates and negates common words like “the” and “is”. This step is really important because without this, someone can have a much harder time to search what they really want because these words would cause interference.

After reading the article on Liddy’s “How a Search Engine Works” I always noticed a similarity in searches and how they somehow linked to my preferences. At first I did not pay much attention to it, but now I realize how a search engine refines’s exactly what your looking for based on key terms or how something is typed into the search engine. at times, searches are on point and sometimes they are difficult to find. Now I realize it may be important to improve searches by shortening what your looking for to have a more refined search that can directly lead you to what your looking for. an “Inverted file isolates and metatags subdocument pieces.” This helps information link together for a better outcome.
