Knowledge
Students know:
- a search engine searches exactly what you type.
- a search engine may only produce search results for one or some of your keywords.
- using a plus (+) sign between words tells the search engine to search for all of the words and using a minus (-) sign before a word will exclude that word from your search.
- putting quotation marks around a set of words or a phrase tells the search engine to keep those words together in a search.
Skills
Students are able to:
- state important key words that pertain to a topic
- use the plus (+) sign to tell the search engine to search for both words in a resource and use a minus (-) sign before a word to remove it from your search.

- search engines have to be told exactly what to search.
- a search engine will search each word separately unless it is told it to search for a phrase or multiple words or to exclude words.
