Web Searching: Advanced Techniques for Google and Beyond
Presented by Greg R. Notess, Columnist for ONLINE. 

Explore advanced search capabilities and strategies with Web search engines. This Click U Live! Seminar covers advanced Web search techniques and compares major Web search engines in terms of their databases and specifics on advanced search commands. It includes what you need to know about Boolean searches, adjacency, field searching, limits, and other special features. The primary focus is on the largest Web search engines: Google, Yahoo!, Live Search, and Ask, with lesser coverage of Gigablast, Exalead, and any new and upcoming search engines. In addition, the course looks at the constraints of the search engines: inconsistent results, lack of overlap, and the significant hidden Web that they fail to uncover.
