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.
