A helpful piece posted today on LLRX.com reminding us that just throwing what we
think might be appropriate keywords into a search engine isn't the most
sensible research strategy. While you might find that the title of the article
is not exactly what it is about, the content is helpful. Here are the main points:
“Summary of Web Search Strategies
Determine appropriate search engines to recover information in both the
Surface and the Deep Web.
Structure the search query with punctuation and groups for the maximum
effect.
Use date restrictions to narrow the results.
Consider narrowing searches by using intitle, domain or specific site-
limited searches.
Use link checks to “Shepardize” the results.”
