HOW TO SEARCH


The sum of man's knowledge is to be found on the internet.

"Finding it's The Thing" I hear you say.

Yes. It is. Invest a moment learning how to search the internet and your time will be returned to you a thousand fold in efficiency.

The Lovely Sue Edwards is the brilliant Aqua Therapist helping Bonza's Ros Garavaglia recover from a Stroke. (Learn more about Sue at www.swimfactory.com).

Let's help Sue check out Aqua therapy in Australia and resources for Instructors.

First thing you need is a search engine and the best is www.google.com.

For your convenience, here's a Google search box:

Google

Let's start by typing into the search box Aqua therapy. Click on Search Google or hit Enter.

The blue line towards the top of the screen of the search results page says we found 69,000 results at the time I wrote this - The number varies as the internet changes by the second.

Sue's not going to plough through 69,000 websites, so let's narrow it down for her. Since Google only returns web pages that contain all the words in your query, the quick way to refine your search is to add more words to the search term you have entered. Your new query will return a smaller subset of the pages Google found for your original "too-broad" query.

Type into the search box Aqua therapy instructors. Click on Search Google or hit Enter.

This reduces the number of results to under 3,000.

Try this: Aqua therapy instructors Australia. Now we have it down to about 400 results.

The couple of minutes Sue invested in this very simple tutorial on basic search techniques has already paid off!
