We have to solve many problems every day. For their successful solution, answers to questions are required: from "what is the weather today" to "the rate of the Polish zloty to the Russian ruble". The Internet and search engines allow you to find answers to almost all questions, but with one condition: they must be asked correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
Search engines (Google, Yandex, Rambler, Mail, Yahoo, etc.) are designed to provide users with the necessary information. They do this based on a search query. Search queries can be of three types:
- Informational. The user is looking for accurate information (no matter what site it is on). For example: "Anthem of Russia".
- Navigational. The user is looking for the address of the site where the information of interest can be found. For example: "The site of the Lomonosov Moscow State University".
- Transactional. The user is ready to perform any action and needs information about it. For example: "formatting the disk." So, the first thing to do when forming a search query is to determine what exactly you are looking for.
Step 2
The search engine is a huge database, all information in which is "decomposed" into shelves - keywords. After you set a search query, a keyword search is performed and a search result is displayed. A common mistake of novice users is that they perceive the search engine as an interlocutor who knows everything, and set a search query, for example, like this: "You will not prompt, how to remove a stain from a brand new blouse? It is silk. " Naturally, the benefit of such a request will be minimal. Much more effective will be such a request: "white silk blouse to remove the stain." So, the second thing to do is to correctly form the request. It should be as simple as possible and contain keywords.
Step 3
After the machine has processed your request, it will return the search results. Typically, all of the most relevant results are found on the first two to three pages. This is followed by search results that only partially satisfy the query. However, there are situations when you need very rare information - then you have to go through several combinations of keywords in the search query and filter the data very carefully.
Also, sometimes you have to search for rare information that is "contained" in popular keywords. For example, if you enter the search query "Marx photo publisher", then the search engine will find many photographs of Karl Marx, the publisher of Karl Marx, but in order to find a photo of A. F. Marx, the book publisher, will have to work hard, so the third thing to do in order for the search to succeed is to sort the information correctly.
