Searching the Internet

Chris, Nolan, the Assistant University Librarian, talked to our class today, and had some very interesting things to say about searching the Internet and using search engines. I learned a lot of things about Google, the most popular search engine that I was not previously aware of. I never noticed that there were advanced search options, right next to the search button. I learned how I can narrow my results by simply typing in a few extra things into the search bar. I also did not know that Google takes over 200 factors into account when organizing search results. Google uses computer algorithms to organize the results. I was very surprised to find that different search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, provide fairly different search results, and organize them in a very different order.
